I separted for family concerns.
While I am not making the $ I am home 220+ days a year rather than gone 220, plus I pick up an extra 30+ days a year by picking trips that layover in my home town. My quality of life revolves around being home, not the lifestyle. My mom was an AA STEWARDESS for 41 years. I grew up in the company. I grew up dreaming of the glamor. The reality is it has long gone by.
Being a pilot used to be a respected profession like doctor, or lawyer. Sadly none of these professions get respect anymore.
