Re: Personal issues
Hi Get Busy,
I want to write and wish you good luck in the sad and terrible situation that you find yourself. Unfortunately as of tonight I find myself in the same sad situation. My wife wants a divorce now but unlike your situation she is already back home with the kids for over a year now. The in's and outs of the situation are complicated but it has clearly not been helped by lack of leave, the distance between us and the excessive work patterns we are all doing here in EK.
After fifteen years of marriage I feel deeply saddened although I guess I would be kidding myself if I thought that this situation would never happen.
I called sick for my flight as lack of sleep and stress are taking their toll and I just would not have felt safe operating, although clearly as pilots we may see getting airborne as escape so it was tempting to continue.
I will try and go down the avenues that have been suggested on here as an interim measure before the worse stuff begins.
Anyway I wish you well and hope both our paths lead to a better place in time.
