The cost compared to the 1960s seems to be much higher. Even for "people with money".

It really isn't though. Yes, the GA fleet is extremely old, but the inflation-adjusted cost of a PPL is pretty much exactly what it was in the 1960s.

Inflation adjusted wages aren't.

It feels like it hasn’t because of real estate and other baseline things that have inflated a lot.
