Dating for Aviation
Pilots Dating — On Your Schedule
Pilots bid trips and reserve lines; your month is a mosaic of flight legs and layovers.
Why dating is hard for pilots
- •Your home base isn't always your actual home
- •Reserve is a loaded gun pointed at every plan
- •Jet lag and time zones eat consistency alive
Why pilots are worth dating
- ✓Once you hold a line, your schedule is known weeks out
- ✓Layovers anywhere in the world beat a corporate desk
- ✓Dating another crewmember means you both get it
