As a retired former HEMES pilot, Chief Pilot & DO I can assure anyone the pilot shortage is for real. My ex-Army Black Hawk son used the GI Bill to acquire his FW ratings. Eleven months later he is a CRJ FO and In another 12 months he will be eligible for the Legacy carriers. The airlines have historically been (incorrectly) jaded against RW pilots. The reason this negagive perception has changed so dramatically is for two reasons:

1. The pilot shortage.

2. The actual performance of RW pilots in FW Part 121 OPS.

It took #1 for #2 to occur. Without a legit pilot shortage the status qua would still be.
