With something on the order of 17,000 RJ pilots; a similar number of military pilots, and probably 5,000 to 8,000 biz jet jocks, the airlines aren't running out of pilots any time too soon. The RJ operators could have a problem, but the rapid phase-out of small RJs could fix that, too. Add in consolidation and the majors are not going to have a problem picking the best.
