Not even close.... the reason is because there were not enough experienced pilots who would accept those jobs... there are 2,000 pilots alone from AA on the street, and thousands more from countless other "real" airlines... there was NO shortage of experienced qualified pilots, there was a shortage of people willing to work for nothing.
