OK fair enough. All I get out of it is that for the vast majority of line pilots sacrifices to the family life must be made to continue the pursuit. ie holiday's, birthday's etc. to some it's no big deal. To the child it likely is. I will say this however a job at the legacies is not the only way to stay in the biz. ie sim instructors, air amb etc. Just depends on what 1 is looking for.
