Just can not understand the logic. I heard about short of experienced pilots in USA. To have a 10+ thousand hours experienced pilot from outside to sit in the right seat is simply waste of money if he is suitable for left seat. For sure you have enough pilots with low experience who want to be FO.
No offense taken either. The shortage of pilots is not in the captain spots. There are plenty of f/o's that are able and willing to upgrade. The shortage is in the applicants to the regional airline jobs. The majors have plenty of applicants to choose from.
