question, maybe slighty off topic.  Why "Afstan" ?  Is it what you guys call it for short?  I am asking 'cause I haev heard "Afghan" before, not afstan. 

Hello people, I was always wondering what do pilots do when they are all done flying for a day.  I mean, is there any non-flying duties they are assigned to?  Briefing, de-briefing, pre flight checks - this is all understandable - anything else?  Like aircraft maintenance co-ordination or parts...

I spoke to my girl about possibility I will join forces.  Its all big IF as of now but I decided to let her know - she seems to be in love with me, migh as well know what she got herself into. Anyways, she was turned off big time at first.  A bit of "you have to decide what you want - me or...

Thank you flyboy.  Yours is the first response on the topic, out of 14 previous ones.  Honestly I lost any hope to hear answers to my questions. Now another one - how often pilots are shuffled? Say, is it possible to actually settle somewhere and buy a house and live "almost normal" type life?
