We are both aware of the long trips and I don't think it'd be a problem. International travel, I don't believe would be a problem for us either. I know the money isn't Delta, but I have a sugar momma so it's not a major concern for me.

What appeals to me are the ability to live where I want and not "commute", and I like being able to lump everything together into larger days of days on/off. Not to mention the variety of payload, destinations, bases...etc.

So are there guys who work there who stay married and have kids and actually enjoy the place? All I've ever heard is that it's not a place for married people.
I'd say the percentage of Captains that are still with their first wife is 10-15%. I can say this with certainty because I ask everyone of them or it comes up in conversation on every flight.
