But apart from fighting for better conditions, SAI may continue having problems manning the aircraft they have. Five more people quit in the last three weeks. There is a new hire class to replace them, and very aggressive interviewing for more classes. Its hard to imagine that its cheaper to train a new pilot than to improve conditions for the ones who are here. Failure to adequately compensate 737 crews is directly related to SAI being unable to fulfill their contract with DHL and having to sub it out to NAC.

Can SAI fill the bucket faster than it drains out?
