UK Airlines offering fully sponsored positions for starters. They don't do that when they have tons of applicants. Plus the trickle down (up?) effect of US Airlines sucking up pilots, a 4th ME carrier starting up, India ordering a crap load of airplanes etc...
Take everything with a pinch of salt and remember that not everyone is cut out to be an airline pilot. There are plenty of people with a licence who will never be selected for various reasons, and they will tend to have the loudest voices.
