1. How many are still alive? The FAA database doesn't track that. Did somebody research every single name? If not, they're voting the graveyard.
2. How many are over 65?
3. How many have medicals? You could actually pull that from the database.
4. How many have zero interest in airlines, either employed in other sectors or not flying at all?
