There’s a deal of truth in the rest of your post, but I must take issue with the words above. Many GA pilots, and some regional of my acquaintance, are quite happy where they are, with work/life balance, their choice of home and base, pleasant colleagues, etc. Not everyone wants a 380 (God forbid) nor even a 737.
Contentment has no price, but inestimable value.
