I think probably a bigger problem is getting that flying job without having to travel to the other side of the Earth and therefore maintaining a decent family life. If I'm honest, I wouldn't want to relocate my family to Shanghai for a job! (Because that's where the demand is)*
Supply outstrips demand, certainly in the UK. Plenty of teenagers have raided the "Bank of Mum & Dad" and still looking for their first right hand seat. Some are lucky - many are not.
*I'm not a pilot by the way.
