I would say it is impossible to know how a certain relationship or person will react to you becoming a pilot. That's why it's key for you to be fully honest about what you are willing to sacrifice and risk.

Pilot training will put you under a fair amount of personal, economic and academic stress and that stress will also be felt by all the people around you, parents, relatives, siblings, and of course your partner. Sometimes you will have to choose and prioritise how you focus your energy, time and money, and sometimes the people closest to you might completely disagree.

Whether you succeed or fail at becoming a pilot and work for an airline, there will be loads of hard work and a fair amount of personal turbulence. Some families from Southern Mediterranean countries can be quite "narrow minded" and will simply not tolerate your new "high status" above them, some families will simply not accept it, others will support you no matter what. It's all about maturity, values and common goals I guess.


Not all family and romantic relationships are meant to last, it's great that you wanna be a pilot, I wish you best of luck, and hopefully your family and partner will stay by your side no matter what.
