    Supply and demand. The people that have a lot of experience with those systems are retired or should be retiring soon.

    Supply is pretty low. So they can demand higher pay.

    DB’s demand is pretty strong. If those systems go down, trains don’t run, and that costs them millions.

    It’s cheaper to pay someone a lot of money vs having their systems fail.
