Going to re-spark this conversation a little if I may as my situation is a bit similar but quite different. I have been flying professionally for 30 years and in all that time, I have always come home every night with my jobs. It's a little more predictable on the helicopter side. Now I have accepted a job in FW flying charter in 737s and I'm starting to get cold feet about the commuting part. I know it's the normal for many of you and lord knows I prowl this site trying to get the best "feel" for doing the same but it doesn't seem to help. Throw in the fact that I'm 56 years old and I'm wondering if maybe I'm biting off a little more than I can chew. Guess there's no real question here. Just looking for a little encouragement.
Safe flights..
