Aye your right. Thats why I posted it hoping to get someone in the know to say how to read it. As the CAA were nice enough to publish without giving any key to what the different cat's were.
But if you look at it the other way round 946 CPL's coming on the market it is one hell of a lot of pilots.
From the other stats by age group
there are currently 12043 valid ATL's and 3729 CPL holders
Persumably some of the 3729 will be low hour FO's waiting to get the hours for ATPL.
What do you reckon the A/C stands for?
