Re: How do you Parent Pilots do it? Kinda late on this.
I have two kids. 4 year old boy and a 8 month girl. I fly freight with AMF and its very tough right now. I don't see them in the morning and their asleep by the time I get home. Im looking at walking away from aviation right now. My son has Autism and is fighting fevers that we or the doctors can't figure out. But I can't afford to leave the health insurance is pretty good with AMF. I may take an outstation and leave the family again for six months to make more money. My wife has been the backbone in the family in handling everything. I really don't know why she hasn't left me. Its tough, what makes it easy is if I can bid reserve than I have more home time with the family, but Im not logging time. Either way Im pretty down right now and just dealing with it. If it wasn't for my wife I don't know were I would be.
