Captain Handsome is a very good pilot. That being said, my darling love is still a pilot. They are like little engineers in the sky. They are very type A and painfully organized with regards to flying. Most pilots are devilishly sexy. I know mine is...in addition to being incomprehensibly smart. There doesn't seem to be anything my pilot can't do.
Except exist in the same time continuum in which myself and the kids exist.
Don't get me wrong. My love for Captain Handsome far outweighs any weirdness but there is one unique caveat to this.
I call it Pilot Time.
Because my beloved is always on call, he exists by no clock. When he is tired he sleeps. When he is hungry he eats. There are no actual clocks or schedules on pilot time. The 8-5 world simply does not exist.
We cope pretty well despite our schedule differences but CH many times isn't ready to eat at 5pm because he has just woken up!
I know other pilot partners go through this same thing. The crazy schedule, the perpetually packed overnight bag always ready for a call....it's comforting to know there is a non 8-5 subculture that quietly exists with me.
Fly safe, baby. Remember to wear your watch.
