Married or divorced.

Post by iflyforpie »

Single or shacked up need not apply. Do you have a marriage certificate, or a divorce certificate(s)? Pilots, AMEs, enthusiasts.... anyone who has aviation in their blood in unhealthy amounts. How bad is AIDS, really?

If your daughter just graduated from University, your wife just graduated from high school and your kids are aged 2, 8, 11, 15, and 23; you are probably an airline pilot.....

Why get married. Just find a girl you don't like and buy her a house.

These numbers seem off...

Pie, are you asking:

Are you currently married/divorced?

or

Have you ever been Divorced?

I find it hard to believe that pilots are 40% more successful in marriage than the national average...

I see what you're saying now. I was meaning if you'd EVER been divorced.. so even if you're happily in marriage number 2, 3, 7, etc.. you should choose DIVORCED.

Maybe a better question would be: Have you ever needed the services of a divorce attorney? Yes. No.

I did a run through of all the professional pilots I know........ 75 % have at least one X -wife.

I don't count because I have never been married. I tell everyone I am like a Panda Bear, I don't mate well in captivity :wink:

I am happy to say I am married to my best friend. We have been together for 20 years and have 6 children. The problem is I can only afford a 172 so we can't all go up together. :lol:

It will be 35 yrs for us this year, couple of youngins, one is a Dr. who has her mother's brains, other one has my brains but had sense to stay clear of aviation. No pets but dogsitting on occasion Dr.'s two mutts, a depleted wine cellar that needs replenishment but the new 2015 Camry drives nice - can't have it all. Due for another international excursion but in the dream phase now. Came out of the closet and always wanted to be an Air Canada A340 captain but not on as (a) I am way past my best before date and (b), AC doesn't have them anymore, perhaps in the after life, then again maybe Chateau Petrus needs a wine taster.....

Coming up on 15 years married to the same woman. My career choices have centred around what is best for our relationship and our kids. I've made compromises that keep me somewhat close to home, she made compromises as well - she is smart and gorgeous so she could have married a man with a real job I suppose.
