Oh, Please. Pilot shortage? I'm sure pilots are just queuing up to be based in Marrakech and Agidar - you'd have to be pretty desperate to take that assignment - or a lover of third-world living conditions.
No thanks...
And as for 250 hour Airbus F/O's, so what? Many airlines have cadet programs that do essentially the same thing. I'm not sure why that should be a sign of a pilot shortage either, particularly as that airline is based in the Third World as well.
