When was the last time you saw Managers/executives holding up signs in the corners.


If we as professionals want to get paid professional wages, then we need to as a collective group not accept being paid $30K a year for spending 5-10 nights away from the family. Is it worth it?

Billy Baroo...I commend you on spending time with the kids. I am doing the same. But my wife works in Real Estate and that industry runs parallel to aviaition. I love being Mr. Mom. When I was in the military you didn't get much time to do that. But since leaving, it is nice to have fun wih the bambinos.
