Just been having a read of the Licensing section of CASA and came across the figures at the bottom (Civil Aviation Safety Authority - Licensing requirements (http://www.casa.gov.au/scripts/nc.dll?WCMS:STANDARD:1970376754:pc=PC_90019)).
What I noticed was a clear trend in the number of pilots (aeroplanes only) each year, albeit it only goes to 2006 but one would believe that the trend would continue.
2001 - 35831
2002 - 31395
2003 - 30676
2004 - 30390
2005 - 29786
2006 - 28744
That's a decline of 7000 odd licences or about 1200 a year!
