I'm a happy FlyWife...been through flight school and the whole nine yards...he's been an FO for five years and we have four kids! Its tough sometimes, but totally do-able. AND if your Hubby is committed to you, its not a problem to have a relationship with a pilot! :) Its finally starting to pay off a bit, and life will keep getting better as the kids get older, pay increases, seniority increases...etc. The first year SUCKED, and second wasnt much better....but so worth it! :) The perks are amazing...and I am so grateful for them as I was able to go back and forth to see my mom before she died...
Good luck to you guys! :) |

That's encouraging! One of my best friend's husband's got hired about . 2 months ago. The day he left for training I drove her to the emergency room-she couldn't keep anything down. She'd given herself an ulcer! She's doing pretty good with it now, though.
And if anyone can stay fit as a pilot, it will be my husband-he'd saw off his arm before he missed a workout! We actually HAD flight benefits for about 8 months-the school he went to, now Aerosim, was once Delta Connection Academy, so once he became an instructor we got bene's. Flew business elite class to and from South Africa-it was amazing! Your hubby is interviewing 1st week AUG right, Did your husband go to Delta Academy as a student?? If yes, then tell him to make sure his 141 school paperwork comes back from the school before interview. |

@PilotsWife4-I love hearing happy pilot-family stories! I know his first few years will suck-flight school and flight instructing has sucked, but it'll pay off!

I know someone who went to DCA 2007-2009. He was sent back within 30 mins on the interview day for the exact same reason, DCA changed to Aerosim & Eagle couldn't verify the 141 stage checks PRIA info......, seems odd but that's what I was told... Tell your hubby to be pro-active about it.... |
I will definitely tell him-that would be a disaster! Hubs was at DCA starting in 2007 as well!
