My family appreciates that I have a really good job for pay and benefits, but they have all said how much they would hate it. Irregular hours, multiple time zones, living out of a suitcase, one hotel after another, trapped in a little box with the cruise control on for hours trying to stay awake isn’t that appealing to them. I’m still interested in aviation and the industry, but I really don’t miss flying, I just really wish my absence wasn’t due to what’s going on. Months off is great, but definitely not at the expense of what this is doing to the economy or our industry.
