Weasy,
Why can't run_n_break just take Mrs. run_n_break...and run_n_break Jr., move to Europe and make a go of it if he can get a respectible flying job there.
I've heard rumors, completely unsubstantiated of course, that there are airline pilots in the UK who have families actually with them and still manage to have a career AND the family.
How did you manage your family vs career ?
Since we are mapping our run_n_break's career and family plan for him, I say go to Europe if that's where the best job ( hence, money, future, advancement, etc. ) is and live happily ever after. People seem to think there's a pilot shortage so run_n_break is in a "target-rich" environment.
Of course, he'll still be changing diapers, regardless of continent...and I could tell you stories that would gag a maggot.
