There goes my recall chances for another three to five years, but who's counting, right?
I can always kiss my wife and kids goodbye and head off to my swank life as a reserve puke living at my crashpad next to the prison near EWR. I'll see them sometime later in the month. Can't tell them when with any certainty, though. That's no "win" for my family. I didn't move them 10 minutes from ORD so commuting to IAH or EWR would be easier.

I hear you ...but if the future is that bleak, having to commute to EWR (which I do and many others), flying a 737, which is the growing fleet, then why would you put yourself through this again, just as you said to be a reserve puke ( all of us have been)I'm not making light of your concerns, but trying to inject some realism...if you are furloughed, and will be junior on recall, your choices are limited..and Jay is not the reason.
