I do know their circumstances. I ride with them. And I donate to more charities and do more volunteer work than all of them that I know combined. And I used to be an aircraft mechanic, I made more than any ramper I know, and after I paid my obligations, I didn't have enough money to afford any of the bikes in the 401(k) parking area.
Nice toys, by the way. Wish I could afford all that plus my retirement.

Lots of people spend everything they have as soon as they get it, plus spend every bit of credit they get their hands on as soon as they get it. Many of those people are airline pilots too though.

I think he said that his payments were around $800/month.
Never really understood why you would spend half a month's paycheck on a car, but to each his own, not really my business.
You don't really know a person's personal finance situation, and you probably shouldn't assume it either way.

I used to know a first year regional FO who leased a brand new BMW 325i.

I agree its not directly our business. But we would be foolish to ignore some of the underlying causes of our own collective short term thinking that manifest itself into a major weekness that our managements are acutely aware of. They know how we think and what drives us and why better than we do much of the time, and that puts us at a disadvantage big time. Our collective financial ineptitude directly serves to weaken our collective financial potential. When you can't say no, when you can't walk away and simply have to take the deal, you will get a worse deal. Every. Singe. Time.

And she owns a two-wheeled, V-powered toy. Not a Harley; a Ducati. Red. Both of them. Real red. Like her hair.

ha ha I always loved flying with a first year regional FO who complains that he makes no money and can't afford food on overnights on regional wages, yet drives a brand new BMW, has a brand new Bose noise canceling headset, brand new leather flight kit, and drops 2 trips a month to non rev all over the world....oh and an iPad/pod/phone!
