I don't have the statistics at hand, but IMHO, I doubt this. If less than 50% of Americans have never flown commercially, then you are absolutely right.
If more than 50% of Americans have flown commercially, then I question this. The FC/Business seats (on those planes that have them) make up a minority of seats available.
<<Edited to add: Arrgh! Shows what a FlyerTalk mentality can do to you, In my second paragraph, I somehow had it in my head that this meant "Of those Americans who have flown, most sat in First/Business," clearly not the poster's intent. Didn't mean to twist the meaning, my bad.
