To answer your question - it's definitely just you. I don't know where you got that idea from but if you follow this forum for more than a few weeks you will get the picture - there are hundreds and hundreds of low hour, qualified CPL/IR holders in this country looking for flying jobs. There has never ever in the history of aviation, been a situation where there wasn't many more 200 hour wannabe's than available airline jobs, and any flying school marketing rep that tries to tell you otherwise is lying through their teeth. Trust me on this one.
There certainly isn't a problem with insufficient numbers coming through the system either, ask any instructor who does CPL training at the moment and you'll find they are booked out months and months in advance.
If it's your dream then don't let anyone discourage you but you also need to walk into it with your eyes open. All the will and determination and desire in the world won't change the fact that there are many more student pilots than there are jobs, and therefore at the end of the day some people are going to miss out.
You can minimize the chance of being a statistic by choosing your flying school carefully, studying hard, assiduously brown nosing and cultivating every airline contact you ever meet, doing instructing or crap low paid flying work to stay current / build experience, and if all else fails keep throwing money at hours and type ratings until some of it sticks.
