That claim is incorrect - where did you get it?

Dividing 240,000 (the number of pilots I could recall) by 300 million.

The current number of
active pilots is ~0.2% of the entire U.S. population and if one
includes the number of people who learned to fly but are no longer
active, the number is probably even larger. About 30 years ago the
number of active pilots was ~0.4% of the entire U.S. population.

Wow.



Nope, wrong again.
