At times, making the home life work is extremely testing. My partner has always been absolutely fantastic and nothing but supportive when it comes to my career. In return, I push her to excel in her's. I've been in this industry for nearly 5 years, and airline flying for just over 2...being based abroad is an enormous strain BUT an appreciation of what I'm putting her through and driving her to succeed in her own profession means that when I'm away, she has something to keep her busy.
We get married in 4 months time after being together for 8 years....picked up the rings this afternoon infact....is future divorce a concern? In this industry...of course! But if things carry on as they currently are then I don't imagine I'll end up in the divorce club.
Remember guys/girls......While we happen to love our job (and for all the sh** we come across on the ground, I think it's fair to say that MOST of us still find it a pleasure to go flying),
WE WORK TO LIVE, NOT LIVE TO WORK....
