You are correct there are airline pilots who still fly light aircraft, but very few.

In my experience the number with a valid SEP rating would be less than 1%, in fact the flight crew who have an SEP are probably outnumbered by the cabin crew with a valid SEP rating.

As for those airline pilots with a valid SEP the number with a valid instructor rating is probably going to be in the 10% range.

I should point out that my view is from a European perspective and I am quite well aware that the ability to hand fly an aircraft is still prized on the western side of the Atlantic.
