Why people actually use private jets...

One of the most hilarious sites on social media are people sipping champagne and eating caviar on a private jet. This just shows you that they actually have no idea what the point is of private air travel. A lot of people think private air travel is all champagne and all this luxury experience.

Private air travel is for saving time. This is one of the most intelligent things I've heard on one of these videos. The reason you're on that jet is because your hours are worth so damn much. It would cost you too much to take a commercial flight; you'd miss the meeting, you'd miss the concert, the stadium that you're performing in.

In fact, that jet is a cheaper way for you to get around the world. This guy is so sensible; he's actually telling you the real reason people do fly on private jets or corporate jets. It's a time machine. It's a way to basically multiply your available time because you can do more meetings, you can play more shows—whatever.

Ninety-nine percent of people on social media aren't thinking about it like this. They're renting the jet; they're thinking they're being a big shot; they're having a luxury experience. Most of the time, they're not even renting that. Just sitting on the airplane taking pictures. Their hours aren't booking at the same rate; it doesn't make sense.
