This is true. There is no pilot shortage at the majors, nor will there ever likely be a shortage at the majors.
Every year, thousands more pilots become qualified: military, regionals, low cost carriers, cargo, Part 135, Part 91.
It is an optimistic myth that the majors will be desperate for pilots, and that every regional pilot will easily get a job at his choice of a major. In fact, the majors will remain extremely competitive and will maintain the luxury of being extremely selective in the pilots they hire.
