When they come up with these numbers I would imagine that they are considering all statistics on pilot loss and movement for the next 5, 10, maybe even 20+ years. I do get it though, I'm not naive enough to rely solely on the flow. I'm sure I'll be applying once I feel ready and I get the required minimums for potential majors.
