Having a family

To all of the men and women out there,

What would you say is the best route to go if you want to fly as a career but still want to have time for your wife and kids? Which direction will lead you to daytrips and not too many overnights? Any info will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

With the right freight company, yeah. Otherwise, you'll wind up not seeing your family. I'm steering clear of freight for this reason. There are some companies out there that you've got day trips, and there are some that will have you flying the back end of the clock. Wind up with the second one, and you're either sleeping when your family's at home, or you're exhausted at work. You do get to choose which one of those two you want, though.

The back side of the clock is where it's at, man!
