Not only don't marry one, don't become one. That's what it says here: Don't marry an airline pilot - Learmount

Pilots, apparently are commodities, it goes on to say. So what's new.

Or if you fail to become one, get a job as a journo with the avaition equivalent of People's Friend.

Well his comments pretty much echo, what you read here in PPRuNe. Airline pilots are a commodity these days. His advice to join the military is good but the military isn't neccessarily that easy to get into. Here in Ireland it's virtually impossible. Corporate flying is a good idea too but unless you get into Netjets it's all about who you know and you could easily spend a lot of time away from home, ditto for the military. Come to think of it, this applies to a lot of flying jobs. Maybe the best advice after all, is not to become a pilot or indeed marry one.

To all the Ladies, marry your crew scheduling front line boss! you know it makes sense!

Im sure the RAF would be very pleased to hear you talk about a military flying career as 'training' to 'get a job as a business or corporate pilot'

I don't mind being a commodity as long as I'm in demand.

Why marry at all?
