You can almost bet that the guys who are against it have not been furloughed.
Or are CFI's themselves. Bottom line, is there's about to be close to 700 furloughs by years' end according to PNCL inc. and Eagle. We are talking about giving these guys a shot at the job first, if they have an attitude problem they don't get in, plain and simple.
Listen to me carefully, if you think that because you're a CFI you've pay your dues, then you're the one with the entitlement problem! Let's do some basic math which most of you don't seem to get:
Furloughed = No job.
Currently CFIing = A job.
Simple enough for some of you now? And for the record, you've not "paid your dues" until you've done reserve at a regional. So spare all of us your sob stories as most furlough guys were CFI's before, but most CFI's have never been professional pilots.
In the next few months as far as I'm concerned Pinnacolaba, Comair, and Eagle first; everyone else can wait in line.
