I don't really share your sheltered attitude as a pilots wife.
I know more or less how much a pilot makes and that renders your
comments useless.
I might even be 10 years older that you, telling from your given age. I am a grown
up mature women that knows about her job, duties and responsibilities.
As it goes with a job like these, most of my friends are working for the same company as I do. And I can promise you that none of them are they way you describe the bulk of them
You are of corse right about the description of activities some participate in.
Those people should definitively be punished and terminated. But such
a action is on the level of a individual and not "mass extinction" as imposed by these memo.
The not being polite and smiling is also a very personal thing. If everything in my personal live is good and I am happy, I will reflect these at work too.
But when some stupid person at the office complains that my hair is 5mm to short or my nails are a shade to dark, then even the happiest mood can get lost.
About the marriage part, we in the western world have a thing called birth control.
I decide when I want to become pregnant. On top of that we all have our contracts and it does not look very good on neither of us then we get terminated, we all want to finish our contract or even keep on doing it, so there is no reason of not being involved with some one. Then again, its a matter of the individual that gets hired by the company... if the person who chooses is unprofessional, then why should every body suffer for that !?
Obviously you have not learned too much from your husbands work.
It is a pretty stressful job most of the time. Your being on and off different time zones does not help very much in keeping a healthy balance in live.
Being involved with some one helps greatly, even if it facilitates the daily run to the laundry shop, or going shopping in a country were it takes 2-3 hours of getting a taxi to your door.
I personally don't know anybody that owns and drives a personal car around me and we quiet a lot of people in one accommodation.
By the way, the ones that want to engage in prostitution still do so, more limited now but as long as they come home every night their fine.
On top of things I could start talking bad about the captains too, since they are the holy grail in any airlines. Several of them have had attempts with me, mostly on layovers abroad... If I were you I would watch out for your husband, since I have not seen one trustworthy so far and believe me, we know which ones have family an which don't. Taking the wedding band off and leaving a white mark on the finger, while trying to hit on us is just not very smart... Been there seen that.
By the way thanks to every body that supported me so far through PM's or here in the forum. I am really surprised about the amount of answers.
Hi to all,
