If (probably will) downgrade and furlough, I will either be furloughed for the second time in 4 years, or kicked down to reserve for infinity. No thank you. Either look for a different kind of flying, non flying related aviation work, or another career. I, as most everyone else, need that PIC time. Not going to get it here, so what's the point of staying?
This view could be taken by some (mostly people that have had really good luck in their careers) as pessimistic. This is now the more realistic view of the regionals to anyone who doesn't have their head up their behind.
