October 18, Seriously I may forget how to fly!

Ok thanks for clearing that up

Hi, I’m currently 16 and am graduating early from school! I really am thinking of being a pilot but the scheduling is making me nervous. I’m a family man and I just wanted to know how schedules are like. I know seniority is key but after seniority how much time do you get to spend with your family. What would be the best career zone in being a flying for still having good time with my wife and kids? Thank you for your time!

Daniel,

Pilots are family oriented too. It’s just different because we’re gone for days at a time, but not always. Depends on what type of flying you do and what kind of schedule your seniority can produce. We post our schedules on the forum. Browse through them to get an idea of what our schedules are like.

I’m reading your schedule and living vicariously through you. Flying for “work”. Snorkeling, hiking, canoeing or whatever-ing in paradise on your OFF days. Well done.

Life is indeed good sir, I’m very fortunate :slight_smile:
