The RAA folks love to get together regularly and whine about how the "regionals" can't hire enough pilots, despite the clear abundance of legally qualified pilots. They refuse to acknowledge the obvious solution: Raise the pay; it's all about the money. Supply and demand. It's basic economics.

My favorite was the suggestion at the end of the video from the JB pilot: "We need to lower the expectations for this career. That will attract more applicants."
