It really pays off to be a Delta employee right now.

Delta Air Lines gave its employees a big thank-you in the form of bonuses.

Those who are eligible will split $1.6 billion in profit-sharing. Each person who qualifies will get 16.6% of their salary or about two months' pay, CNN reported.

Delta CEO Ed Bastian gave credit for the company’s success to its employees.

"Delta would be nothing without our 90,000 people. They deserve all the credit," Bastian said on LinkedIn.

This is the sixth year in a row that Delta has paid out a profit share of more than $1 billion, CNN reported.
