Around 600,000 pilots exist in the US; and that many around the rest of Earth. Or the numbers are too few to digitize. And digitizing is not desirable because nothing is perfect. Digital files are lost everywhere, though the losses are usually very, very small. In the case of pilots, a paper file is probably necessary to insure no losses. So digital files under the existing systems are redundant and not needed. And the increase in pilots will probably continue upward, but not enough to create a problem for the FAA. Hiring more people to keep track of records is not a problem; or should not be a problem. FAA records are in Oklahoma City; a good place for records. The government was thinking in a good way 70 years back moving records to Oklahoma City.
