How many pilots are employed by airlines in the ME?

[Skid72]

Hey guys, I am reading for an MBA with a specialisation on the aviation industry and its development. I envisage to start researching for my dissertation within the next 6 months and would like to take the full 24 months that are allowed to hand this in so that I may carry out my research in full and take two readings over a period of 18 months. The title to my dissertation shall be along the lines of the following:

The impacts of ME emerging economies over those of the older world through the expansion of air travel industries.

At this stage, I only require total number of pilots employed with the following airlines:

Air Arabia, Al Jazeera Airways, Ariana Afghan, Arkia, Bahrain Air, Daallo Airlines, Egypt Air, El Al, Emirates, Ethihad, Fly Dubai, Gulf Air, Iran Air, Kish, Kuwait Airways, Mahan, MEA Middle East Airlines, Oman Air, Palestine Airlines, Qatar Airways, RAK Airways, Royal Jordanian, Royal Wings, Safi Airways, Sama Airlines, Saudi Arabian, TMA Cargo, Yemenia

I appeal to your contributions guys, and appreciate any help. Furthermore, should you know of any other airlines, please do include, possible with the number of pilots employed therein to.

Yes mate. I am reading for a Henley MBA through their distance learning division. It is a general management MBA which I think will give me more flexible options in one's future.

I think that it would be stupid to blog under a pseudonym and then give out my Student I'd. This will give proof that my intentions behind my asking for assistance with number of pilots with airlines in the ME.

So thanks again to all who have already assisted with their contributions and would kindly ask for more support please so as to cover my research.

Please tell me you are not seriously going to submit what you read on Pprune as stats. This is probably the most unreliable source you can find. Stop being lazy and make the calls necessary to get real numbers otherwise epic fail I'm afraid.
