I hardly think they are. As long as new hopeful young pilots keep knocking at the door, like I was, they'll be allright. And when/if that ends, I'm sure that there are plenty of pilots from, say Aerosvit, Aeroflot, and Kaliningrad, who would be more than happy to fly for AB for twice their present salary. I'm sure that AB would be able to manage to get approval from latvian CAA to let them fly. It's all a question of money... No mates, it's all about getting the hours, and then get the f*** out of there.(Pardon my french)
