Hi there, welcome! This is a great site...I am relatively new to the site and pilot life, and it has been a tremendous help to chat with other women in the same situation.

I am engaged to my pilot and we live together. We have been together for a little over a year, so I don't have much experience with this lifestyle either. He was with a regional and was based in our city which made life pretty easy. Recently he left that airline and just started with another regional and is in training in a new city. Since he has started training, I have also wondered what I have gotten myself into...it is really really hard, and by no means a traditional lifestyle.

I too stress about what it will be like....sometimes I feel like I am waiting for our "real" life to begin...the life when he is home for more than 24 hours at a time! But, then I remember how great he is, how much he loves his job and I think about the positives, and know we can do it. You can too! Hang in there! There is great information coming in every day on this site, and the old threads are good reading too!
