There were approximately 70,000 student certificates issued last year, so the answer is no. How many of them are career wannabes we don’t know.
True.There are very few flying jobs that offer the money and QOL of a legacy airline job with a few years of seniority. Top tier corporate job, maybe, but those are very hard to get, and those can change in a heartbeat.
A fair number of those are foreign students, headed back to their homeland as soon as they hit 1500 or whatever is required to drive an ATR into a mountainside.There were approximately 70,000 student certificates issued last year, so the answer is no.

Probably just as many are like myself where they get their Private or Instrument for personal use with no intention of going into commercial aviation.A fair number of those are foreign students, headed back to their homeland as soon as they hit 1500 or whatever is required to drive an ATR into a mountainside.
That's my story. I had an opportunity in 2000 to attend Flight Safety for a FO rating in a Leer, I think it was in the 35 but can't recall for sure.Probably just as many are like myself where they get their Private or Instrument for personal use with no intention of going into commercial aviation.
....is there a job board for aviation jobs?....
