Seeing as it January, I took the time to look at my logbook for last year. I flew a total of 876.7 hours as a professional airline pilot, a job that I truly love. Now not that I did'nt enjoy my time at the controls but this is what I missed
Wedding Anniversary- This was our sixth year and I've only been home for one
Birthdays-Missed my oldest son's fifth special day, my wife's b-day and the one that hurt me the most my little man's very first b-day. Now I know he won't remember it but I will,and since I was on a trip the day he was born, I really wanted to be there
Holidays- Thanksgiving and Christmas, both spent in the air
Now I know what people think....you know what you were getting yourself into when you decided on a career,but looking back I have think is it worth it....I truly don't know. What do you guys think?
