text: There would be no problem for you to be a pilot... Yes... you will be away from home some, but you will also have to opportunity to decided what type of work load you will have.  Maybe you work a week on, two weeks off... or a number of many other different ratios.  \n\nYou can also choose to work for one of the regional carriers where you only fly short haul flights.  This will keep you home more.
