I know of at least one more on here.
Some work out, some don't. It's not so much the profession, but the people that determines the outcome of the relationship.

opcorn: I'm a former (and future) FA and have dated several pilots. The one I'm with now is a keeper.
I suspect as in all relationships, sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesn't.
Indeed!
Pick who you date/marry based on who they are, not what they do.
Forgot to add that yes, I did marry a pilot that I met while I was a flight attendant. We've been together since July of '96, and married since March '02. There are at least two other pilot/former-F/A couples on JC that I can think of off the top of my head.

I told myself when I got into this that I would never seriously date a flight attendant. Not because of the profession, but mainly because of the schedules.
I've been dating my flight attendant girlfriend for over a year now. In some aspects, it's easier than dating a 'normal' person, because she gets the schedules, and she understands the industry and so on and so forth. On the other hand, the schedules can suck. This month our schedules are completely opposite; we share ONE day off together. So that part is hard, but we're both able to sustain the relationship while we're apart and just enjoy the time when we are together.

Where I work there are several instances of "ABC Babies" where "ABC" is the name of the airline.
Actually I have heard of one pilot who has a baby with one flight attendant, and a baby with another flight attendant. I think he is also married, and lives in the base that both of those flight attendants are based at.
Then there is the pilot who would tell flight attendants he found attractive (physical or otherwise I guess) that he was married but it was an 'open relationship.' His wife eventually learned of this; it was not an open relationship, and now she drives him to and from the airport and she restricts him to flying daytrips only. Fortunately he's senior enough for that.
That's probably not the reply you're looking for but there it is anyway.

I'm not in that segment of the industry, but from guys I actually know who have pooped where they eat, maybe not the best idea.
That's not in any way to detract from those above who have had successful relationships on opposite sides of the Securitay Door, just what I've seen. It probably amounts, as those above have said, to your maturity, willingness to compromise, and most of all what kind of people you are, not what you do for a living. I will say, though, that all other things being equal, it appears to this outsider to be more of an impediment than a boon. Me, I share a loving relationship with my boxes because they never talk back, so I never have to Regulate. Put down the pitchforks, ladies, that was

I would say that you better make sure it's worth if you're going to mess around with someone at work, particular when it comes to pilots and flight attendants. For most people, when it inevitably goes wrong, you get to go through years of awkward encounters in the terminal and crew room until someone quits. At least in a real office you see each other so often that the awkwardness probably passes....not really the case with pilots/fa's.

Probably because JB doesn't have an industry standard contract.
(ATN seems to be absent today, so I am posting what I think he would say in memorium)
The thing about not dating someone where you work is a little different at a decent-sized airline. Typically, where you work, you see the same people every day. At a large airline, you can very easily go months without seeing someone you "work with" at work. Sure, pilots and flight attendants are gossipy by nature, but they'll gossip no matter who you're dating.
The best advice is my above advice about dating someone for who they are, not what they do.

Not possible!!!! Pilot/Pilot is not possible because according to that "If God Wanted Women To Fly" thread, all female pilots are dogs and all male pilots seem to think they are studs! FA/FA is not possible because aren't all male pilots gay?
Crap, I guess I was assuming we were talking about a man and a woman!

Freudian slip, Pam???!!! There's NO such thing as a gay male pilot---bite your tongue. Although I do have a funny story from the employee parking lot bus that proves there are other combinations as well.
