Delta Air Lines plans to give each of its 75,000+ employees a $1,250 bonus next month, despite reporting losses in the fourth quarter following a tumultuous year amid the global pandemic and rising inflation.
The Atlanta-based airline reported Thursday a $408 million net loss in the final quarter of 2021, driven in part by rising fuel costs and the rapid spread of the Omicron variant of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, which had impacted employees and led to hundreds of flights being canceled over the Christmas period.
