BMWMarv, unfortunately when you chose to be a pilot family comes second. Every pilot that I know is either divorced at least once or just given up on family all together. The only ones that are still married are probably the ones that bring in over $150K a year because their wives know they can't find a husband that makes that much again. For now, I will get all my ratings but am still reluctant to pursue a career in the airlines because franky it doesn't look good right now. You know it's bad when people are starting to make the regionals a career.
