Yeah I get what you are saying. But the pilot shortage is largely due to the fact that there is no way to bridge the gap from 200 hour CPL to 1000 hour with multi engine turbine experience, at least not in Australia (Excluding cadetships).
Yes, there would be a few jobs floating around in GA to bridge that gap for some people, but obviously its not enough.
