American, Delta, Northwest, Southwest, Continental, US air, United, UPS, FedEx alone have 51500 pilots.

ALL the regionals listed on APC only add up to 22,000 appoximatly
(American Eagle, ASA, Comair, Expressjet, MESA, Skywest, Air Wisconsin,Big Sky,Chautauqua,Colgan Air,CommutAir,Era,GoJet,Great Lakes,Gulfstream Int'l,Horizon Air,Island Air,Mesaba,Piedmont,Pinnacle,PSA,Republic Airways,Shuttle America,Skyway,Trans States)


ps. Adding those up is a half hour of my life im never gonna get back haha
You included some of the Major-National LCC's as regionals that I didn't. Among the true regionals, there's significantly less than 22,000.

I still have about 15 minutes of that half hour left!
