We get it. You’re a 737 FO and you earn lots of money (in your mind). Your other half earns nearly as much as you do as a nurse and you’re looking down from your ivory tower at those with terminal illnesses that can least afford so-called $100 airfares. But those airfares to get to their cancer treatments, really cost in total closer to $1000 with taxis and accommodation for 2 included.

Here comes farmer Jo or local successful business owner with his private aircraft who humbly offers his time and aircraft to take these people to their hospital treatments, waits all day at the airport so he can be ready when they want to head straight back rather than wait 5 hours for the next RPT, at his personal time and expense. This is a godsend to those patients, moreso than you could possibly imagine.

Look at it from the other side of the fence and remember your roots, unless of course you came from one of those big city sausage factories.
