New Here from STL

luvinmykiddos · 08-11-2007, 10:10 AM

Hi Ladies!
My name is Kendra and I have been a Pilot's wife for 10 years. I am so glad I stumbled across this site. I am looking to better inform myself on the industry and find support from those who know what it is like to be single most of the week. We are in a big transisition right now as hubby is looking to move to the majors. Right now DH flies for Trans States out of STL, he is a captain on the EMB-145. We are on pins and needles because going from captain pay to a FO pay is quite the adjustment. We have 3 wonderful boys and are expecting our first girl mid-December.
I look forward to talking with you all!
Kendra

Hi everyone. And welcome to Kendra. I just saw this new thread and thought this is a good time to introduce myself also. I'm Katie, and also live in St. Louis. My DH is a learjet55/60 FO for a charter company here. We've been married for almost 3 years now, no kids yet, but we have a beautiful cavalier spaniel that is our baby. We've moved a couple times in the last few years for my husbands job changes from flight instructor to LJ FO. Glad to be back in st. louis now, as we both went to college here and have some friends around. I'm excited i found this site as it is hard not having other pilot wife friends who understand how hard and lonely it can be at times. Looking forward to meeting people.

Welcome to you both!

Hi Katie and Seatclutcher Thanks for the welcome! Katie I love it here in St. Louis too (although I live on the outskirts).
Seatclutcher are you from Rochester NY? I was born and raised there until we moved for hubby's job. All my family is still there.

We've been here for about a year and a half, and we're leaving within the next couple of months. Not a bad place a-tall!

Welcome to the board! I've been on here since the 'early days' when Nick was a flight instructor. It has been an exciting ride!

Hey there Kendra!

I'm Jackie and I grew up in Geneva, NY. My whole family is still in the area from Churchville to Penn Yan. We live in Oklahoma now as this is where DH went to flight school. He's now flying for Skywest. We're expecting baby #2 in October! Congrats on your growing family!

Hi Jackie
What a small world! I went to basketball camp when I was in HS in Geneva, great memories. My Mom lives in the Churchville school district (Chili). I went to Gates Chili for my entire school career.
Congrats on your bundle coming in October!!

Hello Kendra-
Welcome! My name is Christina, I am a SAHM of four little ones ages 3,5,7, and 9 (one boy and three girls). DH is a CRJ FO with Air Wisconsin. We currently live in S. Carolina, but we are both originally from Northern CA. Welcome aboard, this site is amazing!

Hello Katie-
You have found an amazing site with some amazing jetgirls. We have moved around quite a bit too. DH and I are both originally from Northern CA and have lived in AZ, IN, WI, NC, and now SC. We plan to set some deep southern roots here in SC, so far so good!

Again welcome to you both!
