If you offered terms and conditions and a lifestyle that was competitive in *TODAY's* pilot market (Not the pilot market of 10 years ago that you wish still existed) , some of those pilots who are going to the companies who *are* offering competitive T&C would be willing to fly your airplanes. But, you won't offer competitive T&C. It is *THAT* simple.
