Commercial Pilot Trends UK vs US
Wikipedia suggests that the number of US Commercial Pilots has shrunk from 438,000 in 1980 to 325,000 at the end of 2008.
No similar info on the equivalent UK section...ideas anyone?

I'm sure you mean private too. Has a very plausible explanation...........price of oil (and not enough imperialist oil wars to keep the price down!). Also marked by the demise of the private piston twin experienced during the 80s. Cessna manufacturers not a single twin piston today.
