My wife and I were chuckling tonight about how many of us are married to people listed in these professions, so I'm throwing it out there.

Throw stew into the list and things'll change a little.

Can a serious relationship be measured in hours and/or minutes?

Stayed at a 4 room B&B once-just by chance there were 4 pilots there-2 married to nurses, 2 married to F/A's!

I've met a lot of pilots married to teachers but you need to include "sugar momma" in the poll. I'm married to the breadwinner and I know a few pilots married to doctors and other proffesionals.

It sickens me.

My wife has made more in a weekend than I do all month.

And...to cut off the quick shots, she is not a prostitute.

My girfriend is running a bank , owns 2 businesses and just convinced me to leave YZF for down south. It hurts me somewhat but my decision was taken today.

Next time I drive a plane, I will own the seat.

so does that mean no twin otter for you

Rudder Bug · Post by **Rudder Bug** » Wed Aug 15, 2007 11:29 pm

Tofo,

I don't care about the type of plane. A Twotter is cool but there is nothing like a seat you own.

Where are your pics?

tofo · Post by **tofo** » Wed Aug 15, 2007 11:33 pm

guess this means your girlfriend will have less free time hey, gonna miss her but oh well

Rudder Bug · Post by **Rudder Bug** » Wed Aug 15, 2007 11:41 pm

All I want is to be with her dude, and make a living out of what we love.

Being happy is all about life, isn't?

I am 54 and there's no time to lose now.

How old are ya?

tofo · Post by **tofo** » Wed Aug 15, 2007 11:44 pm

old enough to know better

young enough to do it again

Rudder Bug · Post by **Rudder Bug** » Wed Aug 15, 2007 11:52 pm

Yup, I found out lately that I'd rather own the seat of a small plane even though the Twotters around are tempting but i gotta make a move toward retirement...this life goes fast man

That's a nice saying dude, I like that!

Wow Rudder Bug... I guess I just had quite the opportunity to catch you and shake hands with you when I went in YZF!

Hope I get to meet the woman that made you take such a decision! Be a happy man, and may your soul continue to be wealthy with happy moments!

Guess I ain't the marryin' type

Not a teacher, not a pilot - define 'northerner' - might qualify there, but a transplanted one, previous to meeting hubby

I have to tell you guys....

I was at a seminar years ago at ALPA and there was a researcher who had spent about 20 years studying pilots. As in, who the hell were we if you could generalize.

One of his many fascinating outcomes was that we were married in large part to 3 professions!

Teachers, Nurses and Flight Attendants.

In fact, by show of hands in the room (about 400 pilots) he proceeded to blow our minds by proving it!

Weird.

So, something about these 3 groups really works for us. A guy I know who is much smarter than me on matters such as these, said that he feels all 3 of these groups are professional "boundary violators" . No, not S&M guys. They are all paid to know how to take control of a situation by way of violating peoples normal expected boundaries.

So, what about this would attract us as a generalized group?

Not sure. Maybe we are so deeply involved in control while at work that when we leave work, we have a deep desire to kick back by relinquishing control to a personality that loves to have it.

I dunno....what do you guys think?

Hey now.. My mother was BOTH an FA and a teacher..

Guess that gives dad bonus points

Lommer · Post by **Lommer** » Fri Aug 17, 2007 5:18 pm

Hrm, well nurses and teachers are the only two female-dominated professions that are portable enough to keep up with pilots who move a lot, and FA's are the only female dominated job to work closely with pilots on a day-to-day basis. Common sense really. As more and more women become pilots, I suspect the number of pilots married to other pilots will rise dramatically too. As for this "boundary pusher" stuff, I think it's a bunch of psychobabble nonsense.

tofo · Post by **tofo** » Fri Aug 17, 2007 10:28 pm

The man show said

"we got women pilots you know, There not very good but we got them"

so maybe we should add pilots?

Dark Helmet · Post by **Dark Helmet** » Sat Aug 18, 2007 7:58 pm

Another reason why Nurses and FAs go well with Pilots is work schedule. They both work weekengs, night shifts. etc. You can bid you schedule around theirs. You could not do that with a 9-5er.
