I will quote one of my favorite captains in my response to this. Yes, it's flexibility, time, etc... But (at least for me) it's a bit less quantifiable than that. To quote my friend:
Jack Sparrow:
Wherever we want to go, we go. That's what a ship is, you know. It's not just a keel and hull and a deck and sails. That's what a ship needs. But what a ship is... what the Black Pearl really is... is freedom.

One is a CJ2 and the owner pilot says it’s too expensive for personal trips.
One is a Citation 3 and the owner says it’s not cost effective.
One is a sovereign and the usage has dropped to less than 100 hours per year. One is a CJ2 and the owner pilot says it’s too expensive for personal trips. - He's right, if a CJ2 seems expensive he's out, that airplane is about as economical as it gets. One is a Citation 3 and the owner says it’s not cost effective.It's not!!!!! One is a sovereign and the usage has dropped to less than 100 hours per year.Yep, gotta fly a Sovereign way more than 100 a year.
