I doubt it's 10000 anymore, probably around 5000 at this point.
I doubt it is a static pool that never has new entries into the pool. AD in all services alone probably drops a fresh 800-1000 pilots per year between retirements and those leaving. Even in the 60s where there was a serious shortage it was pretty much a requirement.
