Divorce Rate Among Pilots?

[2000flyer]

Back in the mid-80's when I was at one of the majors they told us that their average pilot had been married 2.6 times.

Only when you're averaging 3.7 flight attendants per month

Sorry...just had to

25 years in this business, married 19 years with the same wonderful lady. Her sister was a flight attendant, brother-in-law was corporate and now retired AA pilot. They've been together over 30 years. It can be done!

It takes two to make it work. The positives and negatives of the job are exactly the same things. Away from home a few days a week and an irregular work schedule can be great if that's what you both want. A little breathing room to do your own thing can be a good thing. It can be a disaster if you both don't want it. It's that way with any lifestyle. Me-flying 29 years and married 18 of them (same person)

cut out the lawyers, the stress, the sleepless nights. Just find a woman you hate...and buy her a house............

It took me 3 times to find the right one. If I had done that 36 years ago, I would have saved a lot of trouble.

Flying ten years, married four consecutive months. I'm on a roll! My secret: I voted for Kerry, she voted for Dubya, and we never talk about it.

Someone once told me what marriage is like....

"Just give half of everything you have to somebody you don't like!!"

24 yrs flying, 25 yrs married.

Either you commit or you don't, figure that out BEFORE you get married.

It ain't that tough a concept. It IS tough making it work. If you're commited, stay commited and don't make excuses.

Marriage ain't for the faint of heart, and it ain't for wimps. It ain't all sucky-face and uglies-bumpin', it's serious work with great rewards.

It wasn't flying that cost me mine. (I'm not a professional and my ex-wife, a private pilot also)

It was the 3 years of remodeling our house, when my 40 y/o wife ran off with the 26 y/o kid who'd been doing the work was done.

I wish now he'd been done alot sooner, so she would have been gone sooner too.
