Yeah, right. Because people in the middle ages worked 9 to 5 and had everything they wanted.
Even our grandparents had miserable work conditions, and their life conditions weren't much better. Of course, there were almost some millionaires, kings and wealthy minorities, bit of you think you have it worse than your ancestors, let's hope they never invent a time machine because you will be very disappointed.

I'm pretty sure this is not even close to accurate. $131M a quarter in aircraft rent? That's enough to rent about fifty large airliners, a small fraction of their fleet.
Aircraft rent or ownership is usually about one fourth of an airline operating cost. It's one precent in this chat, which of obviously WAY off.
Edit: I fixed a typo in my original reply, not I see in their actual finance disclosure that this chart missed aircraft acquisitions for $1B, which is not a small sum.

Sure it can be done. There's a very scientifically thorough documentary called "The Core" where they show how it's done. :-)
