It is true that pilots can get large blocks of days off but spend them walking the halls of empty shopping malls alone while everyone else is at work. The results are that even though they are home they are alone.

Oh by the way, my police officer, firefighter, EMS, and other graveyard friends see there friends and family soooooo much. Give me a break, they all sleep all day and work all night. I never see those guys anymore and i know from talking to them that they hate their job's. You act like being a pilot is the only profession that takes people away from there families. My friends kids never see him awake, and my "9 to 5" friend is always traveling somewhere for work.
