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.
Edit: I was wrong, they currently don’t have a union. However as explained by another user below, still nothing is ironic about this: https://lemm.ee/comment/8843221
…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 (edit: better than what they want to offer down the road. They beat the union rates so they can point at it and say “I told you so!”, discouraging a would-be unionized workforce now so they don’t have to negotiate with a union later and can get away with the sort of underhanded shit that a strong union would be able to stand up against, including but not limited to lower wages and poor working conditions.)
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…

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.
