actually, you've got that mixed up a bit... it's not the flight attendant that he spends all his time with in the cockpit.. it's the other pilot. it's the other pilot he'll spend 4-5 hrs a day or longer talking to because they're stuck in a tiny little cockpit for entire flights. so actually, he'll be hanging out with other pilots most of the time, not FA's.

just thought i'd help clear up that misconception.

keep in mind too that when he goes out at night on his layovers...he kind has to... you can't sit in a room every layover, you'd go nutz! so when he goes out, remember that he also worked a full day and deserves to enjoy a bit. he wouldn't expect you to stay home after working a full day either or at least he shouldn't. you'll get used to it... it takes some time because it's SO different from what everyone considers "normal" but it can work..it just takes both of you to give and take when needed.
