Had we inducted the Pilatus as previously planned we'd probably have a surplus of pilots. @Milspec
 
So no real shortages for the operational squadrons, the above number is for approved. Fighter alone there is a gap of 10 squadrons thus if you multiply by 1.2 (Which is approved strength per aircraft) its 200+ pilots not needed.

Pilots here mean every platform not only fighters.

Did I mention the type of pilots we would have turned out or did you assume I assumed the Pilatus is exclusively for training fighter pilots?
