Many furloughed guys will say they won't "lower" themselves to CAL's horrible lifestyle, flying, etc., but it sure beats unemployment........ANY DAY. Yes, we may have horrible schedules, bad pay, etc., but we have some great people to work with, great airplanes, and make the best with what we have. Let me know if you end up in EWR on the B737 and I'll take you out for a nice dinner when we fly together. Just send me a PM and we'll work from there. frats, ewrbasedpilot
