    The only thing a little ironic is that delta FAs are the best-paid of any US airline.

    Their deal is literally better than all the union deals - and the unions were scrambling to match.

      Unions aren’t the ones who decide salaries outright, they negotiate with the employer. Wages go up under unions, not that all union workers are paid better than all non union workers. A Delta Union would almost definitely make their deal even better.

          I think they mean nothing is ironic about this. The workers getting good pay is the result of a strong union which again results in anti union stance seen on this flyer.

            Delta flight attendants are non-union. They’ve also had industry leading pay for… forever. Delta pilots are union and also have industry leading pay.

              …because delta knows that if they didn’t have that pay then they would unionize and probably be able to negotiate something as good if not better. Just because there isn’t currently a union doesn’t mean a corporation like that isn’t kept in check by both the realized and potential presence of unions in their industry…
