Dwi
I actually have seen where a DWI helps a pilots career. I use to fly a contract plane for the forest service. It was widely known that if you wanted to upgrade you had to have a career black mark of somekind like a DWI. Employers don't like to invest a small fortune in training to watch a new captain walk a few months later to a better job. Sometimes a blackmark helps a career.

A useless comparison. Divorce doesn't (shouldn't) involve taking something that doesn't belong to you, and it's usually the choice of both parties.
If someone can't afford to live as a pilot without declaring bankruptcy because of their pilot training loans, then he or she doesn't deserve to be a pilot. No one owes them a career--not even the bank.

My background is just fine and so is my credit. I've had extensive background checks with various positions I've held. My divorce has nothing to do with a failure to commit to anything. I spent 25 years with the same man and am probably a helluva lot more stable than some people around here. Especially opinionated ones who know not of what they speak.

Last time I checked, if one is unhappy in a relationship, and not committing to it, the wisest thing to do is get a divorce. This shows responsibility, courage, bravery, and a valorous attitude, that would do excellent in any job.
It is often the stupid, ignorant, and irresponsible people that indeed, stay in a relationship that is not working.
From the perspective of an employer, I would much rather have someone who is divorced and will to work his/her hardest. Than to have some one who is married and having marital problems, and as a result of that, bringing those problems to the workforce.

50% = 34% Fed tax, ? State income tax, 15% FICA as self employed (employer pays half) Do you want me to keep going? Taxes are as bad here as in Europe. Our country just hides it in sales tax, property, etc.
We need to fix this.

Why not commend someone for "responsibly" ending a marriage?
Well, there is no comparison. Barring health issues, keeping money that doesn't belong to you is morally repugnant. Not remotely comparable to two people deciding to end their marriage.
