I am also in the middle and moved 12 numbers from Feb 1, 15 to Mar 31, 15.
6 a month. The most junior on same dates was number 3760 on SL moved to 3724. Thus 36 places in two months. hence 18 a month. At that rate 216 a year. 5.75%.
new joiners are 5-8 a week. (20) a few weeks of 12 and a few weeks of 3-4.
this includes the Cadets that slip in from time to time. SL list has 3772 today. net gain 12. / 2= 6 a month. total pilots has not been above 3776.
