This thread is the result of a brak brainfart i.e. claiming that the report refers to "professional airline pilots", which is clearly does not.
Yes, it would be interesting to have a figure for this group, yes, it will be extremely small, yes, we know this already from commercial airline fatality statistics
@barit1
The NTSB website has the information, a quick sanity check confirms that the numbers look plausible, have a look for yourself.
Clue: chopper pilots and topdressing folk (professional pilots all) are strongly represented.

Which shouldn't surprise anyone who uses their noggin.
