We have a joke on the plane. We have a joke. Anything you want to do on the plane is $250,000. Everything is $250,000. You want to put on Starlink? That'll be $250,000. You want to put in a coffee maker? That'll be $250,000. You want to reskin the wood on the inside? That'll be $250,000. You want to redo the upholstery and the carpet? That'll be $250,000. And we're talking $250,000 for every frackin' thing you want.

It's overpriced for sure, but that's just the industry.
