With their benefits package, yes, they make the equivalent of $83K per year. Why do you think Delta is going bankrupt?

BTW, Delta is my airline of last resort. I only have the Gold card because of my Centurion membership. I used to fly Delta 99% of the time but I have found BA to be about 1000 times better on Transatlantic flights. When I do fly Delta once every blue moon, the gold card is worthless.

Yes, I am cruel and inhumane. The airlines never are...
