As Jose Leon mentioned a while back, it really depends on the USCIS adjudicator who will review your case.
The Service Center it ends up with also is a factor in the approval.
The way you wrote your arguments and the key points and other statistics you included is also a factor.
Your qualifications also play into the final decision.

There are 2 options for you:

1. Write a new case or
2. Answer the RFE and make a strong argument with lots of news clippings and pilot shortage statistics and charts.

good luck.
