"personal jets"

a recent diamondaircraft.com ad for the d-jet says "flying a jet used to be a job for trained professionals - until now" and ends with "be a jet pilot". in my opinion. if you are flying a jet you should be a trained professional. flying high and fast isn't something casual that a rich person should be able to do by writing a check. some of the cirrus accidents have been attributed to less experienced people buying a higher performance aircraft than they were prepared for. of course, if i were rich i would feel completely differently about this.
