As with any relationship, I believe communication is one of the most critical aspects and don't neglect or take each other for granted. Let her know every now and then how much you enjoy your job. Give her a call when it is least expected to let her know you are thinking of her. And, by all means, if you are ever late, CALL HER and let her know you are OK. I fly night cargo and am home every day however, one night recently both Midway and O'hare were closed down due to a snow storm. I ended up holding for nearly an hour and then diverting to Milwaukee (along with a bunch of other guys from my company as well as other freight dogs.) I ended up getting home about 3 hours later than usual that morning and had not had the opportunity to call her while on the ground in MKE. That was the first and only time that she ever called me names! She was so worried, she was beside herself. I had called her from the airport as soon as I arrived home and when I got home she said that it was a good thing that it was a 20 minute drive from the airport to home. It gave her time to settle down and cool off. I think she might have really attacked me had I not called from the airport. We laugh about it now but, don't ever think that it is better to let her sleep than to call at night!!!

AND, almost as important... Never forget that every job eventually becomes work and you should always work to live...NOT... live to work!!

Be well and fly safe
