However, if there are no raises for our fellow employees at Delta, it doesn't matter how much American and United go past us....so whether we get the comparison to AA/UAL is really inthe hands of the company. If they choose not to raise pay for the other workers, they don't have to worry about possibly triggering a raise for us......at least that's how I read it.
There's a 100% chance they will raise other worker pay at least a little bit. The reasons are very obvious and the timing doesn't support stonewalling every other work group (or 70+% of them anyway) just to be able to stonewall us. That wouldn't go over well with any work group and would be an instant anchor tied to any leadership team that tried it in this day and age of billion+ dollar quarters.
