Church can be tough as a pilot. I deliberately didn't volunteer for any Sunday Schools or committees that required regular, consistent attendance. I looked for other places to serve, and btw...if you work at FDX and tithe you'll probably be in the top 5% of the contributors at your church. I actually had a chat with our minister when we joined explaining "we are not having marital issues, and I'm not out fishing...but sometimes I'm going to be on the other side of the world..."

The cool part? I did Easter Service in Paris with my daughters back in 2013....great memories.... Also regularly visited a few churches in Germantown when I've been there for training or on a trip.

Many of our pilots--including some in management-- are involved in a their churches and their communities in a lot of capacities. I think you will find our schedules lend themselves very well to church life, coaching sports teams, or a host of other stuff that makes you happy away from work.
