Calling All Flying Mums

[Red Minx]

I didn't actually start flying until my 3 kids were at school and it's the best kept secret for working Mum's! My full time hours generally see me fly to the US for a nightstop once a week and I'm at home with them for the rest of the week. Every now and then I get a nice longer trip and quite often just take them with me. My partner, a pilot with the same company does his it when I'm away and thoroughly enjoys the responsibility and the fun - despite the fact that none of them are actually his! I'm very fortunate to have my parents living 5 minutes away and they take over when we're both away. The perks such as staff travel mean my kids aged 11, 9 and 6 have seen the world and are very well balanced and independant. It can be a juggling act at times but I find crewing and my line manager are only too happy to help me swap flights around when there's a school play or parents evening. As for the kids, they have a Mum who is happy in her work and they also get all their Gameboy games before they've even hit the shops in the UK!
