"0.18% of Americans are D1 athletes, and 0.14% of Americans hold a pilots license.. know how elite we are" type stuff is so corny

I'm working through my pilots license. Love it.

My Instagram reels have been clogged with some hilarious young pilot ego posting though. Don't get me wrong, it's a challenge to get your license, but it's basically pay to play, if you want to be a pilot, you usually can get there. The fact that less Americans have private pilots licenses than there are D1 athletes does not mean it's more elite. There's even less Americans that paramotor, yet somehow they're not acting like they made it into the navy seals when they zoom around in their parachutes as a 0.001%er.

Call out the cornballs as you see them lol.
