Default Not leaving...supplementing

I thought I would start a thread here that may add some practical value - particularly now with increasing furloughs, etc. Would it make sense, as a service, for APC to have a forum covering:

1) Networking for furloughed pilots - both in, and out of flying? A board where people could post job opportunities to help furloughed pilots put groceries on the table?

2) Ideas about supplemental income generating opportunities for pilots and families? An example would be legitimate sources of supplemental income and a discussion of these issues. This would be valuable for pilots to connect with each other and gain experience from someone that has already gained some experience in a given area (like Skyhigh with real estate).

3) A third value to this forum would be to allow pilots to scope out rip-offs before being sucking into them.

Just a thought - it may provide help and is not as "negative" as actually giving up a dream, it is simply pilots helping pilots during the doldrums.

Thanks
