That is my secret too. A retired pilot friend of mine told me this " If you find yourself thinking with your little head. Just ask yourself would you pay a million dollars for your pleasure with her? If you can say yes continue but do not get caught because that's what it is going to cost you" and he should know.

Does your girlfriend have any friends who are female, single, and similarly-equipped?

As a contrast, here are the three requirements to retire as a rich airline pilot. Told to me when I first got hired at a major.

1. Keep your first wife
2. Live at your domicile
3. Don't buy your Capt house until you're a Capt

But for the typical 1.8 kids, there's no need for wifey to permanently retire from the work force. After the kids are old enough to be somewhat independent, there's not THAT much for her to do. Except surf the internet See where I'm going with this?
I agree 100%.
