The odds of making it
I was just a little bored, working out my last days being desk-type-rated before my CPL, and I came up with the following figures culled from the CAA's web site:
Holders of UK or UK-issued JAR professional licences with current medicals: ATPL(A) 10475 CPL(A) 3352 BCPL(A) 763 TOTAL = 14590 After deducting a few from this total for the minority of people in the UK who are career GA pilots, IMHO this leaves ~14000 professional pilots chasing airline jobs. Does anyone have any idea how many professional pilots there are employed in airlines at any one time? That way we could work out the job to unemployed ratio. As an aside there are 2343 FI's and 283 AFI's. Although some of these are already airline pilots or are sponsored, or are career or weekend instructors, I would guess that at least 2000 of these are chasing airline jobs.

Did it mention anything about CPL(H) figures? What was the exact web address for this info?
many thanks. |
BALPA should know the employment figures. Anyone a member?

This information is useful
Since 1994 the number of ATPL/A have increased by 50 percent Althought the number of airline pilots in employment has increased over this time I find it hard to believe that its 50 percent A lot of these people are retired? or looking for employment What we need is HOURS by licence to indicate who is in work - this is collected on the medical but not available as far as I know. |
How many crews would typically be employed per aircraft? Cos if we know that and the number of aircraft in all the fleets....
:rolleyes: |
RVR800,
The people in the figures above hold current class one medicals, so that removes the retired. You stats about there being 50% more ATPL/A's is worrying though. |
