Because there are not many military pilots anymore, who can fly manned aircraft, coming through the pipeline. AND, because AA/UAL/Alaska/Hawaiin/FedEx/UPS, etc., etc. will all be competing for them. When the pie gets a LOT smaller, and there are a LOT of people eating the pie, there's not so much for each person!!!

UNLESS DAL decides to pay something like 50% more than everyone else, then they can get most of the mil pilots that are still licensed for manned aircraft.
