Can You Survive Long Commutes?

Should I Be a Frequent Flier asks: "I am currently considering a job offer in an Aerospace company, and suffice it to say, I am very excited. Unfortunately, there is a catch - I would have to fly to work. While this may seem appropriate for an Aerospace job, it might not be appropriate for a married life, as it would require that I spend two or three nights a week away from my family. This is a big step, and I don't want to pass up a wonderful opportunity, but I don't what to wreck my marriage for a job. Does anyone have any experience with this sort of arrangement, either pro or con?"

AC has firsthand experience, unlike every other responder to the question. His opinion is the only informed one. The other comments are like Katie Couric talking about linux.

Um, waaah?

Try joining the military, getting stationed at a remote assignment for a year, with one chance to fly home and spend some time with your family for a month. And then, once you get back to living stateside, you could be called to go to Iraq for 4 months at a time, with no chance of seeing your family at all until you're done there.

I would LOVE to be able to spend 3 nights a week at home.

Count your blessings.
