Default Number of Regional Pilots

I have been trying to put together a list of the number of regional airline pilots, and have noticed that the pilot totals on APC is wrong. Here is what I have listed, can anyone correct these with their airline's current numbers.

Thanks

Air Wisconsin - 488
CommutAir - 331
Compass - 827
Endeavor - 1810
Envoy - 2100
Expressjet - 2543
GoJet - 580
Horizon - 688
Mesa - 1200
Piedmont - 637
PSA - 1440
Republic - 2100
SkyWest - 4350
Transstates - 600

Total is a little over 19,600

If you subtract about 3900 or so that are not hireable by a major, that doesn't leave a whole lot to replace he upcoming retirements.

It's a good thing that the majors don't rely on only the regionals to staff their flying.

And don't forget it is NOT a static population--grows everyday.

Any idea why they look down on Gulf time so much?

What might be a good project is to display these numbers on a timeline. This would theoretically tell us whether there is in fact a shortage of pilots or not. If there is, we should be seeing these numbers decrease at a steady rate.
