The title of that article should read, "Gulf Airlines not providing high enough pilot compensation to attract enough pilots."

Reading pprune and a couple of other aviation forums, aren't some of these Gulf airlines, for example, elimimating 50 seat Rj guys because the 50 seater doesn't meet their minimum MTGOW flight time requirement? Don't almost all of these airlines require you to basically uproot your family to work there? Don't some of them cut off applicants who are older than 50-something? Don't some of them have pretty intense physicals? It seems to me all of the above are pretty fixable. Hell, if Emirates, for example, put a few pilot domiciles in the US they could have all the pilots they could ever want!
