The flexibility to move almost anywhere is great and if that’s what you place high value on, NetJets is a good option.
Commuting 3 times a month is not the norm. Even if was, 3 times a month is 6 times a month right? Got to get there, then back.
If your goal is to be the richest guy in the graveyard, go head, get a big mortgage and commute. Just not everyone's cup of tea, that's all.
