I don't know about the active just, but since the ISL was released we have lost around 1000 pilots. But due to hiring in 2010, the net loss is less then 1000 pilots.
I'm a pragmatist, agree with your comments, just don't get all giddy over the growth stuff reference the 717/MD's. I was flying Capt. 5 yrs ago and might be able to hold the "new" DC9 again.
