Doesn't change what I said, at all. One specific airline improving their conditions doesn't mean that there isn't a surplus of SO and FOs.
I'll give you an example. Vueling put an offer some weeks ago. It was for non Type Rated FOs, and they required 150-200h. What ended up happening? They were overfilled with TR experienced guys and they mostly chose them instead. Also, Air Europa Express, as far as I know got over 500CV in a week for 15 spots, and I've heard they pay 2-2,5k€ even for maximum hours.
One given example or particular situation doesn't change how things really are. The other user is right, try to dive deep into the job offers, and two weeks later, see how they evolve.
