pinklemonae: sorry if i have offended you - i certainly didnt mean it in the tone of "oh you better watch out its so tough there is no way you will be able to do both".. as i dont know you i dont feel really that making that judgement is any of my business, nor would it be even if i did know you.
i was simply letting you know that it is not all sitting in a classroom watching a lecturer all day (a view which some, especially new crew who i talk to - seem to of held prior to flying)
i suppose one of the downsides to typing in this way is that a tone of voice cannot be portrayed.. therefore you perhaps took it as hostile?
i have also just realised from reading back that in my first post i have put in a few words that probably do 'dramatise' it slightly.. however i wont edit it as i dont feel i have anything to hide.
regardless... i am currently looking at the roster for october and as it stands, briefly, you are scheduled to do GS from Mon-Sat from 800-1700 with sun off.. some of the days are later starts and go through till 2am.
- as for my perspective, i too have studied whilst working full time hours.. and understand a demanding work/studyload. Neither was i the sort to 'go overboard with my study in ground school.. its exhausting, but not hard and i found that with proper rest, food and 'other time' it was quite balanced. i am once again sorry that my post was taken out of context with negative doom and gloom undertones - something for which i am sure others will agree isnt really my style
