My other complaint is with an individual who Voluntarily picks up open time because he needs the money while guys are being furloughed. IMHO said individual is a back stabber. That is my real beef.

What is your backup plan? You do have a backup plan right?
Specific plans, no. Many options? Absolutely. I doubt I will remain in the 121 world unless I can get on with a carrier which does NOT subcontract. More than likely, I will return to 135 flying for several reasons: no commuting, many options for better schedules, pay that is as good or better, and the ability to get a new job without having to go back to year one FO pay or schedules. Unfortunately for the folks who were hired with 500 hours of CFI time, finding 135 or corporate jobs will be much more of a challenge.

I could understand if it was a student in school trying to decide about whether they should go on with their training, but you are well past that now.
