 Helicopter flying isn't conducive to having wives and kids.

In 40 years of rotations I did 7s,14s,21s, and 28s.  For me 21's were the best.  The last week of  28 day rotation we both were ready to see me go.  My wife and I have been together 45 years, kids both are well educated and still speak to me so I guess

that was then, this is now.

 

 

women today are trash and will leave you for chad if you don't bring home the bacon.

 

or they will still boink chad behind your back when you go away for work.

 

either way.....you don't make enough in helis to justify one staying with you long term.

 

good luck fellas,  this ain't Little house on the prairie....
