Don't believe this marketing nonsense that there is a shortage of pilots. Not even 2019 had a pilot shortage.
No I believe you are wrong. Specially low cost airlines don't care about the unemployed F/O's with experience. They want cadets because they can make money out of them making them pay for training and typerating. It's a business model....
