Of the four people we were in my typerating three of us now has jobs with serious carriers. The fourth is on a linetraining program. Except for one the last three of us were lowtimers. It is my impression that most of the other guys from the TRTO got jobs as well. Ofcourse there are always a few who do not succeed
So a shortage of lowtimers?! My airline is taking delivery of atleast one A320 per month. Each time a new aircraft arrives they need 11-12 pilots of combined FO's and CP's. So I guess the times when most airlines could pick and choose from people with a few hundred hours on type are gone. Ofcourse LH, BA etc will probably not be having problems finding pilots with jet or tp experience but it seems like the rest are starting to struggle...
