Hamo09,

Some good points have been raised here. A few have been a bit more negative than is necessarily so. A big factor will be where you work. Your profile says GCM, is that accurate? The ease with which you can manipulate your schedule depends a lot on where you work. Some airlines are a lot more flexible than others.

I've flown with female pilots who have children. I've also flown with single fathers. In many cases, male or female, one may have to delay career progression (to a larger plane, or to captain, for example) in order to have the requisite time at home.
