Go turf that 6 figure job and see how long the “ride or die” chick stays with you
And come the devorce, which is over 50% in America, and we’ll over 50% initially started by the woman, how do you think it’s going to work out when you go all “I’m a addict”
Next look up how courts rule in the husband V wife in everything from kids to money
HIMS is also a administrative punishment, it ain’t about health
Ether way, good luck and god speed dude
If this is a real weakness/issue, never never never admit it or say it, go take some “personal time” or a sabbatical to explore Europe, also talk to a attorney versed in FAA matters, and also talk to an devorce atty, keep everything off documents
Word. There’s some good advice in this post. First off, if there’s a divorce brewing then you might want to do that while you’re not making the big bucks so that she gets less (for now).
Second, go get that regional job and upgrade to captain pronto once your addiction is under control. Then check airman if you can. The money nowadays is insane. Of course, keep trying for your dream jobs in the meantime.
Me personally, I would spin having resigned from SWA as “had to leave due to family circumstances that made me unavailable to fly my schedule” or something to that extent. I would NOT admit to an addiction if the interviewing airline was not able to find out about it.
Your parent/child needed you due to a severe health problem, or your wife was about to divorce you and your marriage was in shambles, etc. Sorry, but if I’m to be honest, if I was interviewing candidates and heard the word “addiction”, it would be a red flag and I’d be worried about it reappearing in your life even after you kicked it.
Whatever you decide to do, good luck and all the best to you.
