Newbie from New England

CapeCodder · 12-27-2007, 09:50 PM

Hello Jetgirls!
I am so happy I found this site!! My boyfriend of 3 years starts his first IOE trip tomorrow from EWR. We met at Embry-Riddle while attending college there and as two New Englanders in Florida we shared many common interests and of course a passion for aviation, we've been inseparable ever since we met. The journey to this point has been a wonderful one and I look forward to all the adventures to come. As a pilot myself it makes it a little bit easier on the relationship, and understanding how crazy the schedules, pay etc can be in this industry.... but I'm sure you have all felt like I felt this morning when he had to leave me for his first trip. He is working for ExpressJet. The company I fly for is unique in that I am able to be home every night...So I think this may be a lonely few days coming up. I look forward to "meeting" all of you and am grateful for such a wonderful support system for the airline pilot girlfriends, fiances, and wives. Take care and I hope everyone had a fantastic holiday

-Mollie

Hello there Mollie and welcome to JetGirls! It really is a wonderful site with even more wonderful girls to talk to for support or just plain (or plane?!) chat. I hope you had a fantastic Holiday as well. Have a happy new year too!

Welcome! Where on the Cape are you? We spend the summers in Harwich, and DH commutes from Logan to EWR during that time.

Welcome! Glad to have you here! Very cute couple!

Great to have you here!!! BF and I are down in Charlotte, he flies for American Eagle, and I just graduated from UNCC and deciding what to do next! Welcome!

Welcome!

I had to laugh when I read your post!

My DH and I met down in Florida as well.....we were also both from New England (we actually only grew up about 20 min apart....he was from Nashua, I was from Dracut). We both went to Florida Tech, he was a year ahead of me. He was there for aviation, I was there orginially for Space Sciences (I wanted to be an astronaut) but switched to Earth/Space Science Education.

DH is currently with ExpressJet as an EWR CA, he has been there since 1999. He is "swimming in the pool" at Southwest- just waiting for a class date.

We are currently living in NH. I am a teacher and he commutes out of MHT to EWR (which he hates). We love New England which is why we are still here, but I can see us moving to one of Southwest's bases at some point in the future.

Hi Mollie!

Where in Mass do you live? I currently reside in Portland ME, just up the coast...

Welcome to Jetgirls! I smiled when I read your post because there are similarities to my situation. My boyfriend and I met when he, a brand-new CFI, was my last flight instructor-- and I was his very first student! :-) I am now in nursing school, but have my PPL, and the BF is an FO for Mesaba out of DTW. I am sooooo glad that we share a passion for aviation; it makes the time we have to spend apart so much more bearable because I understand WHY he loves to fly/has to fly. In fact, I get jealous every time he leaves--not because he's leaving, but because I want to fly!

It is definitely hard sometimes. I went two weeks before seeing him over Xmas, and now, because I have to work over New Years, he decided to go see his family in Vermont... so I won't see him for another two weeks. REALLY not fun. But, still...that's how it goes. I'm sure you'll find Jetgirls a valuable resource...a place to vent, share, and to realize that you are definitely not alone!
