Family life
I really want to address this now. since i'll might be joining cathay as a cadet, this would be the most appropriate place to ask.
On one hand this is obviously my dream, but on the other I have to be responsible and make the right decision.
how do you folks start a family when you are always away from home? As an SO you are alway 1/2 the months. As an FO or captain you are away even more!
We are mid to late 20s now, but plan to get married soon. and we plan to add to our family in about 5 years, which if all goes well about the time I'll attempt for an upgrade to JFO.
In addition, what are the pros and cons of your lifestyle as a cathay pilot?
These are sincere questions, and I hope to receive and would really appreciate genuine answers that can help me decide. Please try to be as unbiased as possible, if you know what i mean.
cheers
