How many pilots are turned off when you tell them you are a pilot?


Maybe she's turned off by pilots! :-)

I envy couples who share flying - either because they're both pilots, or
because one of them is and they enjoy flying together. seems to be more the
exception than the rule though.

I have one friend who's a 737 F.O. and her husband is not a pilot. She has it
set up though so she's home almost every night, and they have a normal family
life. If one or the other is going to be away twelve to fifteen nights a
month, that's hard to manage.

Flying for pleasure or in the pursuit of business is another matter, as one
often feels the other is taking on too much risk and unnecessary expense just
for the pleasure of flying.
