It's still around 10,000 total pilots moving UAL pax around every day.
At least when you count the subcontractor rj sweatshop pilots.
Approximate:
36 EMB 170 republic/shuttle america
67 CRJ 2 skw
52 CRJ 7 skw
15 CRJ 7 gojet
7 EMB 145 chautaqua
65 EMB 145/CRJ 2 Mesa (mixed uax fleet could not find numbers)
At 4 crews per aircraft that's about 2,000 pilots.
