You are a CONTRACTOR. Ask your management where they "hide" the money DHL pays them.
As for DHL having a competitive advantage. Frankly, it's none of your concern. SAI submitted a bid and DHL accepted it. If you had to hire a contractor to do some work around your house, I guarantee you that you would be upset if the contractor started asking questions what you were going to be doing with the money that they contractor paid you. It's none of your (the contractors) business what DHL does with it's money.
You want DHL to pay SAI more money so you can get paid like a FedEx or UPS pilot? Get your union to get SAI management to pay you more. Either SAI will have to take a hit in lesser profits or they will have to beg DHL to renegotiate the ACMI agreement so SAI's profit margin can stay the same while paying you more.
All the while NAC is in the ear of DHL whispering we can do it cheaper and we can start the process of getting a 777 on our certificate.
