Lets start a pool - How long until we are down to 10,000 Pilots? On second thought maybe there is a silver lining in this cloud - If we keep shrinking its only a matter of time before we can apply for protection under the endangered species act!
We can even help marketing - Would you pay a few dollars more to help the double breasted, always crowned, flying mainline pilot? At their glorious peak they freely roamed throughout the USA including Alaska, and Hawaii with offshoots establishing a temporary habitation in Europe in the early 1990's.
Recently however times have been tough on the double breasted always crowned mainline Pilot. After hitting an apogee in the year 2000 the double breasted has been in decline and slowly retreating with only the native breeding grounds of Atlanta GA, and Southeastern Michigan still flourishing.
After the introduction of a non-indigenous species into the habitat - the spiked hair, backpack wearing RJ Pilot - the double breasted has been suffering a terrible population slide. Add to that predatory competition from the Alaskan bearded lady aviator and well, lets just say its been a tough decade for the 'ole double breasted.
