Newbie saying hello

Michaela · 12-12-2007, 09:53 AM

Hi girls!! I wanted to say hello and introduce myself. My name is Michaela, I'm 31 and I've been married to Todd for 10 years. We have a son, Will, who is turning 2 tomorrow. Todd is a KC-135 pilot for the Tennessee Air National Guard and I am a stay at home mom.

Todd was hired 18 months ago by PSA. He ended up pushing back his training dates due to Guard duty and then ended up taking a regular office job for more money. He's unhappy not flying for a living (well, he still flies 2x per week with the Guard) and wants to call PSA and get new training dates.

So technically, I am not a commerical pilot's wife, yet. But it's looking that way and I am a pilot's wife either way. (I had to put info in my profile to register, so I put what will likely be true shortly)

I'm just looking for support in this transition to being a commerical pilot's wife and adjusting to the lack of schedule and lack of pay (we're looking at a $30,000 paycut when he leaves his employer to go back to PSA). The good news is PSA's most Jr. base right now is McGhee Tyson, so at least Todd will be based at home, here in Knoxville, TN.
