There are not pilots because the cost of training is astronomical.
When I was taking my lessons
The instructor was $18-20
C172 was $70 and C310 was $125 an hour. Now the instructor is $85 and a C172 $160. Right now if you get your CFI take you less than 2 years to get 1500 hrs. Is nothing.
Getting to the CFI the biggest problem. I know couple parents that can't send their kids to taking flying lessons. They don't have an extra $1000 a month for flying.
