So then what will you do when you children are grown and live in a different city than you do? I was defending you earlier because you hold your family life to a high importance. I don't "pretend" at all to like being on the road for a month and seeing great cities. It is what I have always wanted to do and for me is just as important as being home when my children were there. Believe it or not, once you get your time at the regional s there is a whole world of aviation that opens up for you. I am very fortunate to have a job that fits my lifestyle so well. However, I would have never even applied for this job had I been as close minded as you. BTW, if you don't love airplanes or your job what the hell are you doing there? There are better ways to make a living that would afford you much more time at home.
