maybe to say the average is actually a wild error. The average western family perhaps. But perhaps that is even a stretch. Maybe a sign of financial privilege… maybe the majority were priced out long ago

I think we run out of airline pilots with healthy hearts first

I think a lot of “average” families here in Australia are already priced out. Many are living week to week to just try and pay their mortgage and deal with all the other cost of living issues.

I’m planning my first trip back to Ireland in 20+ years, mostly so my kids can see it, and probably my fathers last trip. Cost isn’t an overwhelming concern now, but I’m sure it will be (especially weighed against stacking sats) in not too many years.

Most Americans already don’t have a passport. Sadly, I mostly look at mine as an emergency exit tool.

travel is cheap unless you go with my wife

That's already happened
