First off let me say WOW this website and forum page are amazing. With that out of the way let me get straight to it. I have been a aviation buff from birth. I was in civil air patrol as a child and have been in The Texas Air national Guard as a F-16 crewchief for the last 6 years. I currently have a couple training hours under my belt and will be finally going all the way in the fall. A local school San Jacinto college offers a pilot program that gets you pp,com,multi, inst, cfi, cfII. My concern is that although i'm young (23) a family is a big deal to me and i just wonder how hard it is to raise a family or be married with children while trying to fly. Which route would give me the most home time. There is a large corporate airport (sugarland regional(SGR) that i work right next to and i didn't know if commercial would be the way to go or what. But my main concern is family life. For me to be a professional pilot will my family have to sit on the sidelines. Any experienced help and comments would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again for the great website.
