Sometimes long-haul living sucks-I’m having a down day…

Friday, November 9th, 2007

I knew what I was getting into before I ever settled down with Bf right? Right… Or wrong… I’m not sure any more.
I knew that Bf was a pilot, or at least that he was training to be one. However originally he had a sponsorship with THE budget short-haul airline in the UK… They do a […]

Fingers Crossed I can go on his next Long-haul!

Sunday, November 4th, 2007

Bf’s next long-haul is in exactly one week. It’s only a Mexico trip, which is never particularly sought after… From what I can work out, it’s one of those trips that the FO’s in his company seem to get rostered for every month regardless of whether they bid for it or not.

Interesting!

Here’s a fact… My pilot know’s I keep this blog, and that I read some of the other pilot wife/partner blogs, I even read him extracts of them occasionally… But I have asked him that I not have to show him mine… Not because I have secrets to keep from him, but because I feel more comfortable […]

One of my friends husbands has ended up doing the flight Bf was offered yesterday. I’m even more pleased now in retrospect that he didn’t accept it… The reason they had re-crewed was because the plane ‘went tech’ (or broke) and apparently, although they’ve made it out there, they were significantly delayed in leaving due […]

That Famous Law!

Thursday, November 1st, 2007

Bf was on his way to his dad’s 60th birthday celebrations today… I unfortunately was unable to go because I have been ill over the past few days… It’s a standing joke, that every time my mum helps me out by looking after the boys, they end up with tummy upsets; and she ends up following them around […]
