Is real world time forced in career mode?

the career mode is not for me, seems it is intended only for single persons; no family, no childrens, no couple relations, etc
I really cannot see how being a parent/relations/having a job etc (something many of us have) has anything to do with it. The schedules given by FTL do not mean that is what you have to fly in real life. FTL automatically changes the in-game time for you.
If your schedule says on 1 July you have an outbound journey and a return journey to do, it does not mean that you have to fly both flights on the same day in real life. You fly it when you want. If your flight starts at 5:30 in the morning, it does not mean you have to get up in real life for 5:30. If your schedule has two flights in one game day, you can fly them whenever you want in real life. You can fly the outbound journey on one day and the return three days later in real life. The game will see it as one day.

Seems I need to clarify for you: Have family means that instead take a coffee with a friend go to cinema with my wife and children, or play music with my family (as I do), and similar things. Not a family job.
Set the flight section number and leave time and date free. Made strict assignments may disagree some people (as me). Instead, freedom can satisfy everybody. Hope I been clear. -
What will time and date being free do? As I said, despite the fact that the flights have dates and times you don’t have to adhere to them in real life. FTL manages that for you. You can completely ignore the times and dates.
@BBoaBrim I'm not understanding the issue either, since I fly 1 leg every other day or so (depending on my schedule), even though 1 "in game day" has 4 legs.
