It used to be that pilots were making bank. Now, long time pilots at major airlines make good money, but pilots just starting out make very little. Think: less than $20k a year. Now, that’s bad enough, but flight school is really expensive. So that $20k a year looks even worse when you have $85k in student loans. When I met my husband, he was renti...
Pilots work the trips that they are given. Trips can be one day or multiple days and they can be back to back. It’s not unheard of for there to be six days in a week where a pilot is gone from home. For us, the average is four. Why this does this happen? A pilot bids for trips. He says, “Hey, I really want this day and this day off, and I don’t wan...
Kid wakes up sick? Too bad—that’s all me. It’s not like I can ask him to help me while he’s off in Timbuktu—literally, he’s flying to Timbuktu! In that case, maybe he can help in three days when his trip is over, but by then you’ve probably passed the worst of it alone.
They have an acronym for the sheer number of pilots and their wives who can’t make it work: “AIDS” (Aviation Induced Divorce Syndrome). There’s enough time away that a pilot and his wife can live a whole separate life, à la The Pilot’s Wife—a novel I highly recommend reading. I’ve also been told affairs abound. Regular marriage is hard enough—being...

Allentown, PA to Atlanta 4. Atlanta to Phoenix 5. Drive from Phoenix to Tucson in a rental car I am dead serious. It isn’t always this bad, but coming back from Hawaiih...

- Lots of time apart. Fair warning: if your ideal marriage consists of your lover coming home each night at a reasonable time so you can enjoy dinner and glass of wine then snuggle up to watch a movie, life as a pilot’s spouse may be a challenge.
- A not so glamorous paycheck. Think that glamorous life as a pilot comes with an equally stellar paycheck? Think again. Unfortunately, the pay scale for pilots starts out surprisingly low.
- Unpredictable scheduling. For most airlines, pilots bid on shifts each month and the airline then creates a seniority-based schedule. If a pilot has high seniority – great.
- Spending holidays alone. Anniversaries, birthdays, Christmas, Valentine’s Day, New Year’s Eve, Thanksgiving – if you’re married to a pilot, you will soon learn to cherish the holidays you do get because more often than not, you will be spending your favorite holidays alone while your spouse does the same.
