People who are in awe of GS, remember that the real VIPs (whether they're actually important in a human sense of the word) live in a completely different world. You never even see them -- they're flying into and out of places like Teterboro, Van Nuys, and the plane takes off when they want to. No one pats them down at a security checkpoint.
This is true.
I happen to know a pilot for Netjets and we got to talking about this subject one day. The truly wealthy and VIP enjoy a fundamentally different kind of travel experience than you and I
ever will.
It really is a completely different world for those that can afford it.
