i flew with an fo who had been in the game 20+ years and has achieved 960tpic at commuteair, then left to goto dhl as his career ending place....only to be furloughed about 20 years down the line and couldnt even apply at most the majors cause he was 40 hrs short, plus 20ish years of FE and FO experience on heavies....it def pays to get that time however you can...although it sure would be tough if fedex came knocking not to take that jump, even I would i think....but a lesson to have in your head.

as for this flow or interviews, as said above there are so many above, and the furloughs will be not current and out so long, that imo it would b quicker to quit, jump the line so to say, (because isnt going to hire all their feed pilots just like UAL already said), plus it still seems in the shade wether its an interview or a def job.
