Hell no Sly

$250K is above average earnings in eg the EU, but good figure if it fits a comfort level. Who knows, but assume any professional gets that level of income - it's not uncommon. To be honest, it's only me, but can't say I give a shit about money as long as there is some around - the buzz comes from making stuff work - not chasing a dollar.
Private jet?? Hey Sly.. wait a moment

Do you know what a private jet costs including the maintenance and bullshit plus the time you have to spend on it to even begin to make it pay?? And ya sure as hell can't afford it on $250K/year.. and do you know how much pollution that creates?
Seriously - sure, would like to fly and have done a bit mainly in the Caribbean (fuel is cheap as hell there for some reason), but really need to spend time on it. A single engine aircraft would be very useful here, but still needs to be used with some regularity to justify bothering - not into ego trip purchases - and just charter em as needed if the "souls on board" justifies the cost/time.
