That's plenty of money if you stay single and childless and plan on committing sepuku the day you turn 65 (or lose your medical, whichever comes first).

You haven't begun to work hard yet.

AVGAS is available out of a truck in PPG (there's a BNI and a few other pistons and helos that operate out of there). A driving reason why a lot of these world rounders in SEL Pistons go PPG-HNL rather than PPG-CXI-HNL is to avoid the high cost of purchasing fuel shipped in drums to CXI (as well as fuel quality and accommodation issues at that location).

The general area of the crash (while close to shore) is still across one mile of ocean in the middle of the night in an extremely dark place. The lights from the island would easily be blocked from view by the swells. They would have been in a black hole, disoriented, and possibly injured. Even 100 feet from shore in the middle of the night like that would be an ordeal to survive.

Oh, then you are an idiot... "Got into flying because I don't want to work for a living"... Wow. Get out before reality sets in, you are not prepared for how cold that dose is going to be.

Oh don't worry, everyone here knows already that there's no arguing with you. You know it all before doing it yourself, you've done the (anecdotal) research, you are such a hard worker already and deserve such great things.

Nobody is arguing with or worrying about you... Just laughing.
