It all depends on where you look!!!! Asiana is looking for qualified Cap on the A320 747 777, since I can remember.....and they even hired you if you are not current and you last fight has been within 3 years. Kingfisher in India is having the same problem, Jet Airways, Indigo has 100 Airbuses on hold because of the above, no pilots.....look the requirements they have for the upgrade in their web site....is ridiculous!!!!!!!!!! Air Astana the same.

Not to mention CHINA!!! Cathay, Singapore....etc.....

In Europe, Africa and Central America (Ryan Air, Rojal Jordania, Air Blue, TACA, COPA, LANCHILE in Brazil and Mexico) is all the same I can go on and on and on!!!!!

Also every 6 months airlines increases wages to attract mores pilots... Shortage may not be in the US.......for now!!!! But I am sure we are heading in that direction!!!!
