WELLINGTON, FLORIDA: It looks like Bryan Baeumler might soon be joining the ranks of Kylie Jenner and Taylor Swift when it comes to facing public backlash for frivolous flying. The recently aired episode of 'Renovation Island' featured the contractor not only flaunting his new flying license but also offering to fly down his employees for some breakfast!

With less than four weeks left for the Baeumlers to finish their home renovation, Bryan roped in some of his construction worker friends to help him out with the renovation. Aside from paying them their wages, Bryan tried to sweeten the deal by offering to fly them out on his private plane. While the two employees were beyond impressed and excited about flying in a private aircraft to grab breakfast, HGTV fans didn't share the same feeling.

Selfish much? #RenovationIsland."
