Don't worry, soon the pool of type-rated pilots will dry up, and despite what some people think there is a limited group of people in the Southern Hemisphere with the relevant work rights, motivation to move here and access to funds to convert their licenses.
Then the airlines will be forced to offer the low-hours self sponsored guys a chance or else the shellsuits will be disappointed when their yearly Majorca package gets cancelled due to lack of pilots.
It might come sooner than you think - it's simple market economics - unless of course the wider economy goes base over apex first.
