No and neither will the pilots that fly them

I had a sales rep tell me he couldn't afford to give me the discount I wanted so I asked him "who in this room is wearing a rolex" ? He sent in another guy.

That's the key, gotta find a wife who makes more than you
Also helps Im a degenerate and prefer instant gratification over being responsible
