With the split of society the richer get more rich and these fewer people can afford to purchase even bigger, newer and fancier aircraft. The former middle class is subject to genocide and can no longer afford to keep the old aircraft steady. The reaction is to increase flexibility by reducing all burden of ownership, rent your home, lease your car, sell the small sailing boat, sell the plane. Always remember the common rule of thumbs, if flown frequently you spend about the purchase price per year on an aircraft.
