I would love to see how they solve this problem and still maintain profits.
No, the issue is how they generate enough SIC hours to get enough FOs the SIC hours required to upgrade, when they are losing CAs with less than 1000 hrs of 121 TPIC and FOs with no 121 TPIC at all. YOU CANNOT GENERATE A SINGLE HOUR OF 121 SIC time without a CA in the left seat for that hour. And it may not be a problem that they CAN solve.
