How is it a slap in the face? Should Delta withhold all pay raises until we get a contract? Should they refuse to negotiate that the dispatchers until we get a contract? Business is business. If you want to play hardball, which we do, you have to be mature enough to see the company do what they have to do to recruit and retain people in other departments.
Good for the noncons for their raise, even though it's probably wholely inadequate.
