Single, with one whom I call my son. I miss him during the two weeks I'm at work. The other two weeks, though, when I'm 24/7 not thinking of work, more than makes up for it. Much better than 9 to 5, 20 days a month, but that's just me.
Not everyone is cut out for the job. I put the career first in my life and certainly have no regrets. Would do it over 100 times even if I was only half as successful. It's all a personal choice. If one is finding that the need to be home every night overrides the career, then one should seek something else. If one needs to be home every night, then being a pilot is a bad career choice.

As always, complaints about the moderation at APC should be directed to the admins. That would be HSLD and Freight Dog. They would love to hear from you.
