Like the Blue Angels? What a $&%* job. Thank god 8 Officers were bullied into it.

These pilot shortage articles have got to stop. They are a slap in the face to every person who applied and didn't get the job even though they were competitive and GOOD but just not competitive enough. Sometimes it's easier, sometimes it's harder, but there will never be a shortage of fighter pilots.
