Well... Here we go.

So I wake up this morning and see a message from Mike saying "Since you came up with the idea, I made you a moderator." Ask and you shall recieve I suppose.

Thanks to Mike for allowing this sub-forum.

I just thought that it would be a nice alternative to surfing through Rumors, Rants, B*tchfests, Technique Threads, etc... Not that I don't surf through those myself... They are always great entertainment with a smidgeon of good information thrown in here and there.

That being said... this forum is in no way to replace any information that you may want to share in the crew room forum.

Here's some ideas that I thought might be nice to discuss in here.

- Birth Announcements
- "Living with a Pilot" issues or Getting my spouse to "Get" it
- Familys in need
- Raising your family while working here
- Building a new home
- Homeowner's Q&A
- Reserve - being away from home
- XJT Insurance issues regarding births, family emergencies, LTD, etc...
- FMLA
- Finances, 401k's, Family Tax issues
- Scheduleing around Family Events
- Dating & Relationship issues
- Trip Trades
- Taking Family on Trips/Overnights
- Non-Revving with Family & Kids
- Best Family Vacation destinations
- Best Neighborhoods for Newbies with families in EWR, CLE, IAH or any other commutable community
- Holiday ideas with family while being a pilot
- ...and pretty much anything else you may want to discuss.

Let's see how it goes... if it's a bust... it's a bust. No Harm-No Foul. Let's try it out for a few weeks and if it doesn't take off, then we may just reconsider having it on here. But... Let's give it a shot.

Welcome to the ExpressJet Pilot's Family Forum!
