Ever.
Of those SIs, there were about 50 special issuances for the approximately 160,000 airmen holding ATPs. That’s still about .003%.

If you don’t find those percentages depressing you may have been misdiagnosed. Either that or your SSRI is REALLY working well.
Even if your numerators are correct, your percentages are nonsense as not all 600,000 (or 150,000) pilots have applied for the SSRI Special Issuance.
