Perhaps they will have to raise salary. Don't feel sorry for the company, there's no true shortage. Just a shortage of pilots that will fly their planes for $24,000/yr, no prestige, no hot flight attendants.
People want money, power, and/or prestige. When all three are gone, noone shows up for work.
