Bluecrane
You are not the only one suffering, like this there thousands of Captains who are suffering. You are lucky that you have 10 days with the family per month. There are certain pilots who manages to get back home after the kids have gone off to sleep and leave for work before the kids are back home from school.
Later on some day the kids asked the Mother, who is this uncle who comes home and sleeps with you when we are away.
You are cribbing about he life of a captain with the ailine of the year. You don't know the lives of the Captains with the best airline/safest airline of the world(SIA), it is worst. LOWEST POSSIBLE PAY, WORST POSSIBLE OPERATING PATTERN to top it up worst possible man/management relations. So be happy. Happy landings
