Seems bbc got it from:

https://www.boeing.com/commercial/ma...pilot-outlook/

But the numbers don`t match. For Asia-Pacific it is 261,000 and for World Demand 790000.
Maybe they are working on a mass production assembly line to produce pilots. More likely is this forecast will be the excuse for pilotless aircraft. Namely the numbers required not achievable so the only way ahead is full automation with ground control for back up.
