I have a friend that is a sales manager for private planes. He said business exploded during the pandemic and then never slowed down. This despite flights being eye-wateringly expensive (like, 20k for one-way is a great deal, because you managed to book an empty leg.)

    20k one way is expensive?

    Not a lot. Several percent, maybe.

    EDIT: not a lot of people is what I meant. Most earn much, much less.

    I actually can't tell if you're being serious or not...

    Are you..?

    Average salary in my city is ~$60k. $20k for a flight is ludicrous.
