Flying the jet is great, but the guilt of not seeing my son daily is greater... Someday the industry will turn around and those that stuck it out(throw in a little luck also) and sacrificed will be rewarded. For me its finish this next trip off as an airline pilot then off to government work(for now)... See ya'

I took a job with an ACMI that "Deployed" you for 3-6 weeks at a time.. my take home pay was just south of $3000 a month for that! I could have sold used cares and cleared twice as much and been home every night.. I hear you.
