I am so torn, I honestly think about it day and night and really could use some advice from those of you who fly for a Major and are gone. Do your kids regret you bc your gone or give you a guilt trip every time you leave?
thanks in advance.
The schedule is the best part about the job and the worst part about the job!
You will miss the Saturday soccer game, but may be able to be at the weekday practice; Same with every other event. On a day off, make the best of the hours 1500-2000 when most other business parents are at work. Expect your Xmas gifts t be opened early, Turkey dinner on Tuesday evening and 4th of July camping in August........Hopefully F9 will allow trip trades
