i am a new pilot and i have posted here a few times before.. i am looking for an HONEST opinion about whether life in the industry is pleasing or its more hassle than its worth.. it has always been a dream to fly for the airlines, but i also want to have a life at home with my future wife and kids.. at the moment, i have a list of about 17 connections into the industry, all pilots, who tell me to consult with other pilots.. getting a job shouldnt be the hard part, but lack of family life may be... i understand the time away from home, but i would really like to hear from a married man whether its unbearable or its accepted just like anything else... i have a 4 year degree from UConn in economics, and if i have to use that to preserve quality of life, i have no problem buying my own plane and getting my flying fix that way, but the airlines is where i want to be..... please post, i appreciate it!
