At last, the truth...

Pretend for a moment that you didn't own a plane, and could not (for any
number of reasons), so that each flight was governed by the four hour
per day minimum, and whenever you wanted to schedule it, you rolled a
die every day to see if somebody else already booked it. Figure on it
being available for a week long flight maybe once or twice a year,
booked a month in advance. Figure also that you worked 9-5 M-F as an
employee, with one two-week vacation.

Or just pretend that you manage to buy a Warrior-class aircraft. You've got that
9-5. So does your wife. You scheduled a week's vacation two months ago; it
starts August 20. If you aren't back at work on August 29, either you or your
wife (or both) may lose your job. Do you gamble your job, house, plane, etc. on
the weather, or do you start packing the car?
