     I see this a lot in people around me, where they expect me to be resentful or jealous of other people’s success. If they’re white, I’m happy for them. If they’re a dad, doubly so.

     The only people I shit on are the ones like pajeet immigrants with government loans to open chains of franchises - can’t spin that as earned or self-made when they show up and get special, gatekept brown person money.

     This guy’s cool enough, I’m glad he’s able to have enough money that he can buy a faster plane to spend more time with his family.

     @MeBigbrain No, oddly I don’t deal with many jews. Few of them fly themselves, to dumb, neurotic, and panicky to pass a checkride. They usually go for fractional operators so they have hands-off travel.

     We mostly deal with cool owner-operators, the kinds of guys who started a company and expanded while keeping a handful of employees, still traveling everywhere by themselves in order to keep the company going strong. The larger ones are more like a family minivan than a plane, it’s a place for the wife & kids to hang out in the back while dad flies up front. Cute & wholesome.

     Am I jealous of fathers? Definitely.

     But in the good way. I wish to support them and hope, that their kids will grow up right. Wishing harm out of jealousy is just ridiculous.

     @Zealist After like, a year together the gf finally splurged and bought me a bunch of “nice” clothes I’d never get myself. The quality is actually quite nice. Still not sure I’d give up the free crap I’ve picked up along the way, but they are much more presentable and adult

     @ForbiddenDreamer @MeBigbrain You basically have a fleet of planes, and the pilots, and people pay a base rate to be able to reserve, and then a cost per hour. Pricing has gone a little weird sometimes, they’ve been expanding like crazy since masking went on in airports, all those first class people left, possibly for good, though you REALLY gotta be moneyed if you’re buying a 2-year to something like netjets. IIRC it’s almost a quarter mil and you only get 25 hours or something.

     @WashedOutGundamPilot I mean, I only get resentful if it’s somebody being an asshole about undeserved success. Like, say, the boomers who inherited a business, sold it off to kikes or pajeets for a fat payout, then blew all that money on shitty consoomer garbage, all whilst claiming they “earned” it. :awoo_disgust:

     @Eiregoat @MeBigbrain See a lot of real estate, some farming, actually. Seems like most of it is just oddball stuff, businesses that grew organically. Pet food manufacturer, feed distribution for AG stuff. And that’s just the pseudo corporate/family buyer, where it’s a dad who learned to fly to use his time more effectively.

     I think one dude even bought a 208 once because he wanted to be able to go sell harleys in Alaska & Mexico, easiest way to export them was to lash ‘em down in the back. Oh, and inventors, too. Weird how you’ll see guys who made stuff like air fresheners for a few million+royalties.

     On the working man, blue collar side we have stuff like mining, petroleum, and electric company flight departments that need small aircraft to do site inspections or pipeline survey (though they often contract now, just like most photogrammetry ops, cheaper).

     @ForbiddenDreamer @MeBigbrain This one’s more jenerous, this is FlyExclusive. JetEdge times you out, you pay them $200k or so and you have to use all 25 hours within 24 months.

     Just imagine though, they just HAVE to be running the numbers on these, getting peak dates and patting themselves on the back when they realize the company is ‘losing’ seven bucks an hour because of holiday travel and gas pricing.

     Ohhh ok. I thought you meant they were running some kind of business in their aircraft with their family in the back, like air-gypsies or something. That would be an amazing lifestyle.
     
     Mining and pipelines makes a lot of sense, grid electricians too I'd imagine. I've heard that's like a typical entry level job for commercial pilots?
     
     That's really neat about the motorbike guy. Whenever I look at the prices in aviation I just assume it's too expensive to do mundane stuff like deliveries but if he makes it work then that's cool.

     @Eiregoat @MeBigbrain Kinda, most of the time these guys are just happy to get a write-off. There’s some new-plane tax break that bush put in that might still be around, where you can deduct like, the WHOLE price for a couple years. We’re mostly used, though, not often my purview.

     Pipeline work is weird, it’s not how it was years back. Old guys act like you can be a fresh ticket and just walk on to the job, but all the “entry level” flying work is….dead, aside from instructing. It’s just too expensive to insure unless your pilot has like, 750 hours at least. They’d prefer 1,200, and that’s getting real close to airline hiring mins so they’re in a weird spot.

     I’ve dabbled a bit and most in that line of work are either transient young guys putting in a year or two before moving on, and embittered douchebags who burned every bridge they ever had in better jobs. Also the pay is terrible.

     Yeah, I get that feeling.
     
     It's similar in a lot of professional jobs like that, they used to be high status professions any young man would be lucky to have, but now the training is unaffordable and the entry level jobs have been regulated out of existence, basically old timers pulling the ladder up behind them.
     
     Doesn't help that they have to compete against foreigners with more experience. On paper anyhow, in places like India and the middle east it's pretty common to just buy qualifications.

     @pirin04 I”m not quite sure how it works, only heard about it from amazed boomers who congratulate their pajeet neighbors on how they’re grifting the government….but balk at the idea of their kids doing the same. Lots of “well technically they’re only supposed to have ONE place with that immigrant loan program, but he signed up everyone in his family so even his KIDS own a 7/11 franchise, technically!” kind of crap.

     @pirin04 FWIW the whole pajeets & laundromats, gas stations, motels etc. supposedly started with the INS, or something. They used to advise immigrants on good “careers” and many ended up taking those recommended routes.

     There’s similar stuff for like uh…thai food? I think there was a government culinary institute over there that provided funding and helped immigrants train as a kind of foreign embassy thing.

     @WashedOutGundamPilot What businesses are popular for immigrants in Florida?
     
     In Florida, approximately 82% of manicurists and pedicurists are foreign-born, and many work at salons owned by immigrants. In addition, immigrants frequently start up taxi services—with the same data showing that nearly 60% of all drivers in the state are foreign-born. Almost 66% of roofers are immigrants too, and a portion of these workers are in business for themselves.
     
     While these are only a few of the more prominent fields Florida immigrants start companies within, there are many other industries entrepreneurs can consider for new business ideas.
     How to get business incentives and financing in Florida
     
     Immigrants in Florida can take advantage of specialized financing or loan programs, financial incentives, and grants, including some of the ones listed below, to help get your business off the ground.
     Black Business Loan Program
     
     Black immigrants in Florida may receive funding through the Black Business Loan Program (BBLP) administered by the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO). The program offers direct loans to some qualified entrepreneurs and business owners.
     
     In addition, the DEO will act as the guarantor for some loans for Black-owned businesses issued by financial institutions in Florida. In some cases, the DEO will even directly invest in businesses to provide ongoing capital in return for an ownership stake in the company.
