The last I saw, there are something like 60 000 pilots in the US, and something like 15 000 have a commercial, and 8 000 are working.
Noone knows how many of the remaining 7 000 are looking for work.
DRS,
A recent study by Boeing revealed that out of the 60000, 37000 are going to retire between 2012 and 2017. I hope that gives hope.
