Coronavirus: Delta making 'unprecedented' cuts, Ed Bastian to forgo salary for 6 months More

The global coronavirus pandemic is worse than Delta thought earlier this week, and the Atlanta-based airline is further slashing its operations. In a memo to employees Friday, Delta Air Lines Inc. chief executive officer Ed Bastian said he will forgo his salary for six months. Bastian's 2018 salary was approximately $900,000, according to filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
