In the fiscal year of 2022, Delta had 95,000 full-time equivalent employees. This was a significant increase from the 83,000 employees registered in the previous year. Using full-time equivalent employees as a measure can be useful when comparing headcount to revenue, profits, or other industry metrics.
Delta's position in the airline industry
For the accounting period of 2022, Delta Air Lines reported revenue earnings of 50.6 billion U.S. dollars, a significant increase from the previous year. That same year, the airline company held total assets worth approximately 72.3 billion U.S. dollars. Delta Air Lines is considered the leading airlines in the United States, based on its revenue and brand value.
Employees in the airline industry
One of the challenges the airline industry is an increasing shortage of pilots: a predicted 93,000 pilots will join the industry by 2029, however, demand for pilots is well above that figure with the projected shortage of airline pilots expected to continue.. An additional challenge that the air transportation industry faces is one of unequal gender distribution: the top levels of management in the airline industry lacks gender diversity, with many roles being dominated by men. In 2021, around 94 percent of the CEOs of leading airline groups were men.
