Such as...

I assume most of the folks posting are single. But what if you have a wife and kids?

Then you have to learn to deal with it.

The airlines don't really care...your family is going to be taking the hit for decades to come, might as well get started now. Will it be good for your family if you wash out of training?

After the two weeks, you will probably have an idea of how challenging the training is going to be for you personally...if you are not having a hard time, then you might feel comfortable going home.

If you have an engineering degree, you should be on the front side of the power curve. If you flunked out of junior college, better plan on staying and studying over the weekend.

My training was pretty intense as far as days off were concerned. In 6 weeks of training we only got 10 days off but I managed to make it home at least two of those weekends during the systems ground stuff. The best studying I did was sitting on the plane going to and from training. Plus, being home and hanging out with people you haven't seen every waking minute of your life for the last 6 weeks helps a lot. If the loads are light and the schedule allows it...I say do it.

I was VERY LUCKY!!!! I have a wife and a new born. My little girl was born 3 days before my interview with SKW and I started training 4 weeks later. Ground school was 3 1/2 weeks with weekends off. They do require us to jumpseat a few times on the aircraft we will be flying so that we see things first hand. This is usually done on the weekends. After Ground I had 11 days off before Sims. Sims lasted 11 days straight and after I ended up with 5 days off before IOE (Initial Operating Experience). My second month of training was the best because I ended up with 19 days off. After IOE they allowed me 5 days to relocated, which I did not need so my wife I spent the time with our families. The entire time I was being paid. My first month at "K" FAT (Fresno, CA) I received a reserve line and never sat a day of reserve. The next month I bid 27 out of 55 lines and I have held weekends off ever since.
This is the best case scenario. I understand that I was VERY LUCKY!!!! SKW positive spaced me when I did go home and all the way through training. I don't think that there is any other airline that treats its pilots as well as SKW does. I just wish that they treated their FA with a little more respect; after all they do have the ****iest job in the airline industry.
Good luck and I hope that the beginning to your aviation career goes as smooth.
