Fly in Fly out Vs Day Job

Hiya and thanks for the feedback.

Yes, on most vessels (I work at Sea) we have satellite based email and in some it extends to Satellite based Internet and if we are working close to the coast we have mobile phone contact too..

It really is up in the air though...as vessels are mobile objects and we cant always guarantee contact.. sometimes the satellites are unable to be "seen" by the ship due to the course being steered etc... It can be hit and miss but this would rarely be for more than a day or two...

Fly in Fly out Vs Day Job

thanks for the welcome and the honest feedback.

Fly in Fly out Vs Day Job

G'day,

I am taking the plunge as advised by a wise woman I recently met here on CS and having a go in the Forums.

I am a little nervous, from what I have read and seen so far it is more like the Colloseum than the Forum.

Now to start ... I work in the Offshore oil and gas industry and fly in fly out (FIFO) on a 4 week (or 5 week) on and off roster. I find it frustrating when I make this known clearly on my profile (here on CS and one other I'net Dating Site) that I am in this situation then meet up with people, and in two cases now, hook up, start dating and then get told things like "Why do you have to go away all the time?" "I dont like you going away!"

What is going on??

What do YOU think?

Would you prefer a man who works FIFO and has 4 or 5 weeks at home in a block and equal time away?... or

A man who works a 9-5 and is home everynight and weekends?

Now before you answer.. the difference being, in my line of work there are few if any "day" jobs and those that do exist pay considerably less. So the financial loss to ME is not worth the luxury of all that time at home.
