But what about the amount of aircraft being flown? There are a lot more jet aircraft out there than TP's...
The most popular choise for the guy's from my school has been the SAAB 340 but, in total there is about 400 built and most of them flying in the US. No more being built.
ATR's about 330 72's and 400 42's delivered...
Comparing that to the A320, there is about 3000 built and almost all of them are flying and more are being shipped out of the factory every week...
This is just a thought... but the demand for pilots should be a lot higher on these mid size jets than for TP's.
