Delta Chief Executive Ed Bastian said in the memo here to employees that the Atlanta-based airline is “seeing healthy demand for spring and summer travel as customers continue to return to Delta, with corporate offices re-opening, business travelers rebuilding face-to-face relationships and international restrictions lifting.”
The “base pay increase, for eligible scale and merit employees globally,” Bastian wrote, “is the direct result of the dedication, hard work and excellence that you demonstrate every day.”
Bastian noted that it was March 2020 when “the United States declared a national emergency over the COVID-19 outbreak, which began the most difficult and challenging time in the history of our company. We’ve come a long way since the darkest days of 2020.”
