INTRODUCTION
Delta flight attendants are the best in the industry—that’s why we are
committed to providing you an industry-leading package of total compensation,
benefits and work rules as compared to our global competitors, American and
United. These airlines have similar business models, scale, complexity, customer
bases, employee size and worldwide market presence to Delta.
This document gives you transparent side-by-side comparisons on the issues
you’ve told us you care about. No airline is perfect, but when we look at the
big picture we think you’ll agree we have a great thing going here at Delta. We
update and share this comparison annually to deliver the most up-to-date facts
as part of our commitment to open, honest and direct communication.
Our people are the Delta Difference, and that’s why we continue to invest in you.
All flight attendants received a 4% hourly flight pay rate increase on October 1,
2019 (the 12th increase in 13 years), and that’s on top of ongoing investments in
work rules and pay components, many made possible through our partnership
with the EIG.
This document uses known information as of December 31, 2019, in effect by
February 1, 2020.

LANGUAGE OF DESTINATION PAY (LOD)
$2.25/hr* $2.50/hr**
$2.00/hr*
Delta LODs have an opportunity to earn more in LOD pay because they do not have
to hold the position to receive the pay.
In May 2019, Delta added a new enhancement to the LOD program called LOD Short Staffing pay. When
the targeted LOD staffing is not met, the compensation that would have been provided to the missing
LOD flight attendant(s) is reallocated among the LODs who worked the flight and added to the standard
$2.25/hour LOD pay.

*Paid to LOD program participants on each required language segment, even if LOD staffing requirement has been met. Flight attendants do not have to hold
the bid language position to receive the LOD premium.
** Only paid to LODs holding specific LOD positions.

SKYBUCKS PROGRAM
SkyBucks is unique to Delta and represents a significant investment in our people. It is a performance-
based incentive program to recognize and reward flight attendants for meeting specified performance
metrics. This program recognizes outstanding performance on-board through our OnBoard Customer
Satisfaction survey program when at least one qualifying customer satisfaction survey is completed.
New and improved in 2020— you have three ways to earn, including rewarding you for each and every 5
you receive in the Overall Flight Attendant Interaction category.
Earn an additional 5 Skybucks ($5) for each survey that rates the crew with all 5’s in every category.
A monthly $25 bonus program provides flight attendants with an opportunity to earn 25 extra SkyBucks
($25) for meeting targeted quarterly goals.

And in June, July and August, a 25% premium will be in place if SSV falls below 83 hours but remains
between 81:00-82:59 (inclusive).
Delta’s override pay is the most generous and it’s unique in that it allows a top-of-scale flight attendant
to earn an additional $27.84 per hour and the new hire rate is $12.38 per hour.

Like AA and UA, Delta used to have a duty period average but, based on flight attendant feedback and the work of
the EIG, that was eliminated in favor of a minimum duty period credit in 2014.
MINIMUM ROTATION GUARANTEE (MRG)
At Delta, there is a minimum credit for trips that contain more calendar days (by trip length definition) than duty
periods. MRG ensure that trips pay at least 4:45 for each calendar day.
