The number of ATPL/CPL/flight engineers with current class 1 medicals is 12767.
There are 20389 pilots with biannual class 2 medicals. That gives 10194 class 2 medicals per annum.
Total medicals process by casa in 2004: 22961.
At one hour each, that's 22961 hours.
Now there are (38 working hours a week, 46 weeks a year (52-annual leave and pulic hols) 1748 working hours a year.
Divide 1 by 2 and you have 13 people that would have to be working on pilot medicals full time - each and every work day of the year....
How many are there?
