been down that road before. I bet most on here have been also. I don't think you'll find many relationship voters.

Hindsight is 20/20

I took the job, ended the relationship

Now I realize it's easier to find a crappy job 10x than it is to find an amazing woman twice.

Cher: They say our love won't pay the rent
Before it's earned, our money's all been spent
Sonny: I guess that's so, we don't have a pot
But at least I'm sure of all the things we got

Sonny: Babe
Cher: I got you babe
I got you babe

I voted "job," but that said... it all really depends on what we're talking about. What job? A good operation you're happy at, or a job you don't much enjoy in a place you don't like? And what relationship? A girlfriend you've had a year or two, or a woman you've been married to for ten years?

It's all relative, I'd say.

Right now, job for me, but I imagine that may change down the road. PEoples priorities change depending on their situation.

Find the right woman and you won't have to choose - if she loves and supports you she'll come to Itchydik Lake also.

exactly - if its a relationship thats gonna last theres got to be give and take. if the job will better your future employment opportunities and earning potential the right one will play ball and adapt. just dont ask her to move to the middle east and wear a burka :D

I has never been a question for me. It is always family first. Jobs come and go, the only constant in my life has been my family.
You only have one kick at this life make sure it is spent in the company of people you love.

Pretty much what everyone else said. The perfect girl will follow you to Nerds point, or cocks end or wherever the heck you need to go for a job.

Life for me goes something like this

Health
Family
Job
Women

No job is more important than health or family.

The answer to this post should be a no-brainer. If it's a use - use relationship, as most are these days, obviously the job will always come first. If it's not use - use, your probably not in aviation, so no problem :idea:

The next character probing poll thread should be, "Do you have a heart"?

Who needs a heart when you have a greyhound with wings? You can go be airplane driver, and come home to pick cat hairs out of your lean cuisine. Anyone who said 'flying job' will regret it oneday, as truly, you can have both with the right person. Just ask cat driver.

Won't you tell me the last time that love bought you clothes?"

Well? How about.. forget about a relationship until you can commit to one? Guess that doesn't work for anyone already married or so forth BEFORE starting to fly.

Should be able to have both, as long as it's a partnership and not a competition. 8)

I choose relationships..I didn't get into the profession to make lots of money, I did it for because I love to do it. I'm not picky where I work it's all an adventure!

At some point, a woman will issue an ultimatum to you: "It's me or flying".

Guess which is the right choice.

Pilots shouldn't get married until they're older and over being a gypsy.

Thank gawd I don't date women. I'd hate to make that decision.
