No idea.

It does, however, take a very independent spouse if one is a pilot/FA and the other isn't.

I do know a guy whose wife calls literally every two hours to her husband over in Europe about home stuff. It's kind of bizarre. Sitting having dinner, *ring!* *ring!* their son has locked themselves in his room and won't come out. A couple more hours *ring!* *ring!* doesn't know where the key to the shed is. *ring!* *ring!* the kids want to go out to pizza when you get home.

That would drive me off the wall!
