Yup I even bought an airbus for my family with my stimulus bucks

I received $1,500 in panny bux due to my low income. After that, I was finally able to afford my $1.8m house in Seattle.

The article isn't super-clear but it at least casts this as being about things like NetJets as opposed to people taking up flying as a hobby. But it's probably a bit of both.

These are private jet flights, not hobby Cessna flights.

It's most likely not on savings that people fly on private flights though
