Kinda have to agree with XXX and Forkie about RAA, mind you it might surprise you all to know just how many of their ranks are ATPL holders and CPL's.......let alone a lot of GA guys.
Yes some of them, and I know quite a few, whose needs have changed over the years, have gone to RAA only by letting their medicals lapse, with the knowlege that 'IF' they want or need to they can go back any time they wish.
There are many good operators with thousands (10K+) of commercial ops that only have that need.
Might reflect in the numbers wouldn't you say?
Also......anyone notice the last table......
