Yep, isn’t it great she had the freedom of choice to pursue a career that doesn’t require this.
Exactly. So why the hell would you pick a industry that is 24/7/365 and then start preaching a 'I have to be home by 5' mentality?

If you want to knock off every day at 1700 then there are plenty of industries that work weekdays only and you can have some predictability. The reality is you cannot have it all. Something will give. Guaranteed.

Everyone who gets into aviation knows what the deal is and that's the way it goes. People make choices around this knowledge. I know some people who have deliberately chosen one airline over another on lifestyle only.

It also quite possible that she has no idea what she has just got herself into and is just shooting off some idealistic propaganda.
