On average in a static market, pilot retirement creates 300-400 jobs per year in the UK. More like the upper end of that scale over the next few years because of the infamous 'retirement bulge'. This number comes from the CAA's statistics of licence holders by age (which is captured during medical renewals)
Factor on top of that industry expansion/contraction and deduct any net migration to the UK job market from other JAA nations (usually incoming rather than outgoing for political, cultural and language reasons).
