Only Mesa at 1200 for 145 is comparable at 8.3.
OF COURSE STAFFING IS A FACTOR. They need to work the tails off their pilots to have adequate manning to fly the aircraft.
Air Whiskey is where you go if you don’t really care about quality of life and just want to log hours and move on quickly to somewhere better. And if that’s what you want, it’s great. If not, not so great.
But WHY ON EARTH would you want CAE when you live a 90 minute drive from IAD? That REALLY sounds like self inflicted punishment.

Now if things were to change at IAD from what I am hearing about long reserve times, that might sweeten the pot.

Even if they hired every single woman/black guy/black woman/unicorn no questions asked that would probably be not even 10% of the professional pilot population. So while your chances are lower because of that it's definitely a terrible attitude to have blaming outside forces instead of taking responsibility for your own improvement.
