I'd be willing to bet he was referring to the first airlines as we know them today...which would be absolutely true.
Even outside of that flight is and was the hobby of means. The Wright's may have been the first, but from there it quickly became something that one needed a steady supply of cash to be able to buy, maintain, and constantly fuel to use. Certainly not the hobby of the average Jane/John Doe, never was and never will be. IMHO of course.
