And not like you'd have to come in via the street like the poors. You'll have a helipad at the top, because what kind of billionaire would you be otherwise, coming in via street level? The other billionaires would sneer!

If I had finally made a billion dollars, getting on a rented helicopter with a rented pilot seems like the last thing I'd want to do. Unless I personally found the best helicopter pilot ever, and found the most trustworthy set of helicopter mechanics to double check each other's work, you couldn't get me on that thing.

If I’m a billionaire, what’s an extra $600-1200k for 2-4 helicopter pilots to be rotationally on call at all times of day for immediate response?

I mean, there are netjets for helicopters if I want to save money. But we’re talking about buying a building for $250M and refurbishing, why skimp on a million per year for pilots?

Billionaires typically keep pilots on staff and pay them full-time. These pilots only work for the wealthy or maybe corporate clients and have a nice ratio. Maintenance crews I‘m speculating but in these sorts of situations there are usually a select few companies who are known in that world.
