If I could find a job that pays the same as I make right right now (flying or not), but has me home every night, I would jump on it.

I've got two young kids at home and being away from them for days on end is by far the worst part of this job. Maybe things will change when they are teenagers and don't want to talk to me, or out of the house and on their own, but for now it kills me to put on my uniform and walk away from my family.

I have a good wife, and she understands the profession and plays the role of part-time single mom well, but it without question adds stress to any family to be gone so often and for so long.
