Me and a buddy are RW guys new to OO and we were thinking we might be in the middle or on the tail end of the RW crowd. It seems like a lot of that fruit has or is falling right now and it'll settle down fast. We thought we were behind the power curve coming in now, a lot of friends of ours from the community jumped in the past two years. Sure is an interesting time and we're grateful for the opportunity. 10 years ago I was told there was no way we could fly for money outside of the military being a helicopter guy. And now look where the industry is.
The Army is about the slowest route there is to accrue flight time, with exceptions, which are rarer these days. The people in our class from that background were either retired from AD or guard/reserve guys with around 7+ years flying RW.
