Long-Haul Cargo Pilot Question

[Whale Rider]

Its a pretty simple formula....

If the wife is onboard with the idea, you're onboard flying the Heavies International.

If She is not......then FORGET IT!!!!

If you lay it all out and explain it to her, 99.9999% she'll be onboard.

All this talk about the essentials of putting food on the table will fly at first, but if she not onboard with idea....then expect to see a lawer and plan to loose more than half of everything.

HAHAHA!!!! You hope it's only your spouse.

Don't try and surprise your spouse if you don't want to be surprised yourself.

You have to find the right person.I know lots of businessman that are gone as much as pilots.How long does it take at Fedex to work 10 days a month without commuting?And why do you think they changed fire fighter schedules to one day one day off and for three or four days and then 3 or 4 days off.

It would have to be the right person. So when you do get married really be sure, or you end up paying up a lot more in the long run. I have a nasty cargo sch, and it is very hard to do the whole relationship thing. Also I'm female and run across the same thing guys get from there girlfriends. Its a great industry and I think if you want it all you can have it all. Just really make sure before you say I do.. good luck

I bet that your actual time home is more than someone working 3 on 4 off, 4 on three off, like Jet Blue, when you take in the commuting. I came from a job in Japan where I was home all but 3 days a month, and now I am gone 16. Wife doesn't mine and I enjoy it. Plus with non-sched's you work maybe 10 or less of teh 16 your gone. Me I am out this time 16 days, working 4. Not a bad vacation. Wouldn't have it any other way.

Try to get a wife instead of just a hot chick who thinks can be a man like you.
For instance Latin american girls are hot and like to be women, so they don't complain about you going for 2 weeks if this is your job and you provide for her and the family by the other habd if you don't like to work or be a family provider you better witha some american chicks that rather work hard like a man and keep their boyfriends on the chain at home.
Just my couple 0.$
