There is a reason pilots have a high divorce rate...I'd say 50% of the guys in my new hire class weren't with the same serious gf by the end of year 1...not saying you won't be fine...but you should definitely be aware of the fact that there will be a serious strain on your relationship...and it's better to deal with and discuss those issues now b/c if/when you get a regional job, the relationship stress will hit the fan real fast...

Don't let them stop you, they always try, first they tell you "oh that's fine we can fly for free". Then it becomes "what about me, your not here". Then it becomes, "me or the flying." Then I say "I've packed your things, have a good life." Or something similar.

Or you can do what I'm doing... Joing the ANG. This will help supplement the income of 1st year FO's. Also, if you put in 20yrs you can double dip.. Military retirement pay and soon to follow Airline retirement IF you can last that long. Heck if all else fails you have something to fall back on if you're ever furloughed. Just my .02

Will scheduling work around your ANG duty?

scheduling won't work around your military duty to make you happy.....they'll do it because they're required to. Honestly, awesome fall back, serve the country, and keep flying. After the downgrade, a friend of mine started having orders written up all the time, gotta find a way to pay the bills....
