I think brownie is probably right but I have to admit I haven't seen such a wide spread demand for pilots in the last twenty five years ( wasn't paying attention before that).
A big Middle East carrier is reducing flights due to pilot numbers. Some Australasian jet operators have been cancelling flights due to pilot numbers, I'm not sure if the same is happening in the USA but I know they are recruiting heavily. China is offering bigger and bigger salaries to attract jet Captains. I see either Ryan or Easy advertising on a regular basis over in Europe...... I think that unless there is a major event like the GFC in the near future that the Airlines will be scrapping pretty hard over pilots with more than 3 or 4 thousand hours. It certainly will be interesting to watch it play out.
