Hi Flyboi,

Having your family first is the correct way of thinking. I'm currently in 121 training and I'll tell you this much my family is not coming first with the schedule you get in training. I jumpseat and non-rev home every chance I get to see the family, but at min of 5 day stretches away from the family is a pain in the y'know what. Especially if you have kids. That and the looong hours and low pay is the dues you have to be willing to pay in this industry.

In the end, if you can justify being a way from your children and your spouse is okay with you being gone it can work. Just realize what your getting into. Eating out lunch out of a bag and sleeping in a motel sounds easy until your doing it days on end and weeks on end for that matter. But, it is a fun job/training if you focus and work for your goals. just go into it with a full plate of knowledge...

Good luck whatever you decide to do. And don't sell your house like the others have said. 3green
