If anybody knows who the original creator of this video was, I'm happy to host the video on my server- anybody know why it was taken down from you tube in the first place?

And Our Hero handing the alimony check to Mom.

Not the best way to start off on this forum, naw who am i kidding I can't spell either.

Hey Gman06, if you're gonna put 06 on your name, you gotta do better than that

Is this it?

Thanks for looking, but this is not it. The vid was about 5 minutes made by an AA crew on flight to Paris. Thanks for looking though.

There's a different one out there that's pretty good as well....doesn't compare to the day in a life, but it's still good.

The author (of the Great video that this thread refers to) had the video removed by YouTube from their site because of copyright issues (he used U2's song "Vertigo" with his own video clips).

Then, he put it @ a couple of other places on the web but decided to pull it 'til things quieted down because of the copyright stuff.

If you ask really nicely, he might be willing to hook you up with your own copy of his video (called by him "Vertigo"). But you will need to promise to keep it to yourself & off the web postsites.

hey N6724G, could you PM me, i tried to PM you but did not have enough posts here.

Just remember, there is always someone in this world who has it worse. As an airline pilot you think you're gone a lot. I agree that it may be hard on family, but try being gone 60-90 days at a time, 2-3 times a year like we've been doing in the tanker world (military). And I'm not talking to Hawaii, Paris, San Diego or where ever else you would consider a good layover. I'm talking the armpit of the world, for 60+ days straight, talking to your wife 2-3 times a week on the phone for 15 minutes because there are limits to phone usage. Using emails as a poor man's "instant" messenger. It sucks, but that's the job. I'm not even including the time away from home we spend doing conus taskings in between deployments. The grass is always greener. I know mil pilots that spent almost 300 days a year away from home.

Not looking for sympathy, because again, these are the paths we choose, but like I said, someone always has it worse and despite being away from home alot, it is possible to still have a great family life, as long as the rest of your family understands and can accept what you do for a living.
