I have to admit that this is the first time that I've perused the threads on this forum. I'm going to take a moment and brag. Today is our anniversary; my wife and I have been married 35 years. I was really corny when I proposed - it was at night in a Stinson Station Wagon flying over the college town where we met. The ring was in the glove box. That was about 3 weeks after we first met. We were married 3 months later. I guess that it took - we've got 5 kids and 10 grandchildren. My wife has supported me all of the way - through the many moves; the crummy schedules; the missed birthdays, anniversaries, and ball games; she had been a stay-at-home mom, but she went to work when I hired on at the airlines so that we could make ends meet. When I left the airlines and went corporate she supported me as well. We had our bad times - mainly her cancer. But we're a team and she's still my best friend. I have had a great career, but it wouldn't have been if it hadn't been for her love and support.
Here's a tip for you guys just starting out. Establish your priorities and don't sacrifice what you really want out of life for some percieved advantange when it comes to getting a flying job. No flying job is worth losing a family over.
