Travelers flew 64 billion miles on the airline in the quarter, a 17% increase, and they filled 88% of the seats on the average flight, a point higher than last summer.Revenue from ticket sales in the main cabin grew 12% — and 17% for premium seating. Money from Delta’s loyalty program soared 21%.The program, called SkyMiles, has become so popular that there are far more passengers hoping for upgrades to better seats than available seats. Lines can grow long at Delta lounges at busy airports like Atlanta and New York’s JFK.But when Delta announced changes to deal with the overcrowding last month — including basing elite frequent-flyer status purely on spending, and limiting lounge access for holders of Delta credit cards — the reaction from longtime customers was quick and brutal. Some vowed to switch airlines. Alaska Airlines and JetBlue fished for disgruntled Delta members by promising elite status in their programs. Even Bastian admitted the airline “ probably went too far.” Bastian has promised to modify the unpopular changes, but he hasn’t given any details yet.“We are working on that. We’ll be announcing something in the coming days,” Bastian said in the interview. He said he has received “a lot of feedback – everyone had their own ideas as to how we might restructure the program. Almost universally, people acknowledged that we needed to do something.” Delta's third-quarter profit, adjusted to exclude one-time items, was $2.03 per share, 8 cents better than forecast by analysts in a FactSet survey. Revenue rose 11% to $15.49 billion, also beating expectations.For the fourth quarter, Delta said revenue will rise as much as 11% from a year ago and it will earn between $1.05 to $1.30 per share. Analysts expected $1.09.The airline predicted that full-year profit will land between $6 and $6.25 per share after saying in June it would be at the top end of a $5-to-$6 range. The short-term outlook would be rosier if not for a recent pickup in jet fuel prices — although fuel is still much cheaper than it was a year ago. Bastian expressed confidence that Delta and other carriers can raise prices enough to cover any increase in fuel expense. Shares of Delta were virtually flat in morning trading.。

B | TnB Global Outsource的董事Lily Tan表示，如何管理工作负荷是关键问题，公司将不得不重新设计工作岗位，并调整不同团队成员的任务。

C | 人力管理变得繁杂 Lily Tan指出，公司在员工宣布怀孕后会立即开始准备填补未来的空缺，必要时也会进行跨部门培训。

D | 但在会计行业中，每项工作任务有不同的期限，聘请新的临时员工可能会带来干扰。

E | 她表示，培训新员工接替现有员工的职位可能需要三到四个月的时间，具体取决于新员工的能力，这无疑会对公司的业务造成压力。Emplifi人力资源公司总监Juliet Tan则指出，当一家公司只有一名员工负责关键业务时，安排替补人员变得尤为困难。她提到，如果聘用一名新的全职员工，原员工返回工作岗位时，公司将面临双重人员编制的问题。制定操作程序 确保业务不受影响 中小企业商会会长（ASME）洪煜建议企业加强人力资源流程，明确员工角色和职责。

F | 他也建议企业进行风险评估，提供明确的标准作业程序（SOP）和知识库，以确保在员工短期内离职时，业务不受影响。虽然新政策或会对企业造成影响，但Lily Tan认为，长期来看，这项政策将有助于提高国家生育率，对于企业和社会都有积极的作用。
