Default Pilots are, indeed, rare...

Hey, I know dozens of pilots. I guess that means I know 250K+ people! I
love statistics.


Here's another goofy-ass statistic, gleaned from another forum:

"I don't have the exact figures, but there are something like 600,000
active pilots in the US. I saw something in the paper the other day
there were 650,000 registered sex offenders in the US."

Hell, if THAT doesn't make you sit up and take notice -- there are
more perverts in America than pilots! That really points out just how
few of us there are, and why we, as pilots, have so little political
clout...

Are those numbers too close to be a coincidence? Now you have me wondering
how many other pilots are perverts.
