Default Are 135 Operators lacking pilot applicants?

With all the hiring that is going on at the regionals, has the 135 operators found it difficult to find new pilots? American Eagle, Mesa, Express Jet, and other regionals are beginning to scrape the bottom of the barrel looking for FOs. This being said, I was being persued by a 135 company for a job where I had to pay them $5,000 training fee and my wage would have been only $18,500/yr. I would think with this these conditions, this company wasn't having any difficulty finding pilots. - I did turn that down by the way.

Thoughts?
