Give it a rest mate, you are giving me a headache.

1852 pilots / 16 pilots per airframe = 116 aircraft.

Even back in Mar 09 they had a LOT more than that.

No way they have 16 pilots (just to clarify for you that is Capt's & F/O's as there must be 1 of each at the front for each departure ) for each aircraft, I would say max 10 or 11.

If you divide 1852 by 10 (feel free to use a calculator ) you will arrive at "about" 185 aircraft, which was probably about right in early 2009.

Now there are 210/227 , depending on the version you believe, like I said, about 2200 - 2500 pilots, give or take. From the 1 yr old figure you quote (3808) it looks like my guess of 4000 "lovely" (well the few in the calendar at least ) CC isn't too far out either, but really, does anyone care ? ? & if so, why for chrissakes ? ?

BTW if you are still having difficulty with the concept of 5.5 x 2 x 227 I think you have some work to do before the 18th March
