Qn: How do you do it - ie. manage the family?

[The_Pharoah]

hi all

the Mrs has asked me a rather serious but important question - how do pilots, esp in regionals or airlines (with rostering that may not have regard for Sat + Sun = weekend) manage to keep their family and, especially, their Mrs/Mr happy?

I done a lot of reading through these here forums and have read the comments re lots of failed relationships, marriages, etc but thats only a few. Obviously pilots love flying and you need the support of your Mrs and family, and there must be a lot of pilots who are able to balance their careers with their family life.

The Mrs will be reading this with interest.

Thanks
