The relentless posting of such statements does not actually imply, that there are really good jobs.
As long as authorities can afford to protect their local pilots markets against foreigners (India, China and many more), the so called "lack of qualified pilots" seems to be nothing more than a myth to me.
Or check this from directpersonnel.com:

What does that mean?
They urge those "keen on widebody hours pilots willing to fly for food" to make a B747-400-rating on their own expenses and then apply.
As long as industry can make such fatal offers, the economic aspect (cost savings) still weighs out the aspect of a smooth and safe operation with no cancelled flights due to lack of personnel

It's simply to get guys to whip up their resumes/CVs to see what's out there....they play the game, just like the pilots do.
I've lost count of the number of "airlines" whose ads I have answered, willing to go half-way around the globe (sometimes more) who have NEVER responded to my documentation. Then two months down the road they come up with the exact SAME ad with the addition of "new and improved terms & conditions"!! What does that tell you??
And in case anyone says that they do not have the manpower to respond to all candidates, taht's just B.S.!! They are a business and that is part of their job! Most pilots who respond are genuine, interested in the position and want to find out more. Most are also qualified for the position - they are not wannabes.....
I had one instance about a year ago when an "agency" apparently lost my paperwork and then back-peddled saying that their client had rejected my application. But......I had to drag it out of them! They "forgot" to send me the rejection email. They did this twice for two different contracts on two different aircraft. I was notimpressed and this was one of the better ones.
In my experience, recent and past, these airlines and some agencies are fairly inefficient at what they do. Quite a few do not follow through and the amount they must be spending on advertising around the world and on the net, would make many a start-up airline blush
Moral of the story: do not believe everything you read or that they tell you. It does not necessarily mean that there are open positions available and agencies as well as clinet airlines change their minds all the time, ACC is a case in point and they are not the only ones.

(Now, ACC's latest effort: Air China Cargo - China Cargo of China Eastern - Dragonair Cargo, to merge for a better future.)
