I hear this a lot but I know 4 of them so it’s not impossible.

And no, you don’t have to be born into it. Each pilot gets a certain amount (I think it’s 2) of nominations and they can use those for anyone they choose; but of course people are going to choose family first. You also have guys that don’t have kids or their kids don’t want to do it.
