Quality of life
Hello all! I am yet another air force pilot who is interested in getting hired on at the airlines. My commitment is up in 2013 and I keep going back and forth about getting out vs staying in.
Having young children, I am wondering what the quality of life is actually like as an airline pilot. Will my time away affect my kids that much in the long term? Do the pilots actually enjoy their jobs?
The only real reason I would stay in the air force would be for the pension/bonus/medical, which all seem to be in question with the recent congressional proposals and lack of money in the government.
