My airline, A320 low cost operator has "absolutely no problem" finding applicants for f/o jobs. However most of the new ones we have employed have 200-300 hours total. A self sponsored type rating scheme is in effect and they will stick around for two or three years before they are ready to move on.
A lot of experienced f/os have left, leaving very few upgradable ones. Direct entry captains will be needed to replace those going to the sand pit. We are having a problem finding suitable replacements for them.
Shortages are of suitable, type rated and experienced (on type) people.
