If my DH didn't have an absolute urge/calling to do this, i'd say run, and run fast!
This career has too many bumps, the pay is crap, the schedule is crap, you get treated like well.... crap!
I'm supportive of my husbands career because he loves it and I know that it's his calling in life. I handle all of the above because I love him.
If your SO isn't 100% passionate about being a pilot for a living, trust me, he won't make it very far anyway. Most people realize pretty early on (some earlier than others) that this career choice is a HARD ROAD and it takes a serious life long commitement to be successful.
Sounds like your SO needs to ask himself some questions. This is an expensive career to get into.
But even if he decides that he just wants to fly recreationally, I hope you stick around and get to know us more...
