Some people would say the price of an occasional plane ticket is better than the hours of study necessary to get a license. “Better” really depends on your goal. Not everyone really wants to get a license.
That said, if you fly every day, it’s probably not a bad thing to look into.
To the passenger it’s all about the exotic destination. To the pilot it’s a whole world of weather, physics, mechanics, skill and discipline. Not to mention a whole dimension of destinations never mentioned in the vacation advertisements.
The pilot gains not just an exotic trip but an expanded perspective and understanding. An expanded world. That’s a big difference.

That’s what I’m saying. Some people want that, some people don’t. Some people wanna be passengers.
