There is a serious shortage in the EU of qualified crews on many aircraft types. Try and find some qualified MD80 Capts and F/O's for instance.

This is all fact gentleman.
Jolly, perhaps you could qualify that statement?

Does this shortage exist because there REALLY aren't any qualified crews out there?
Or does it exist because the packages that are on offer (from the agencies or interested airlines) are not commensurate with what the qualified and type experienced MD80/RJ/146 drivers currently enjoy?

You seem to be adamant...perhaps you could clear this up?
