Oh right!!! That NEVER ocurred to me! I've travelled 6500 miles in search of another job. I'll let you know if I get that one. I've had applications out at other carriers long before this debacle. I'll let you know if those pan out too, ya know so you wont think Im lazy and scared. I was downgraded too. It was nice making a decent paycheck as a captain. It sucks that Im going to take a huge pay cut (that I voted for because I really wanted it) rather than go to one of these many airlines that you say are actively hiring and calling everyone who applies. Maybe I should start at the bottom of another regional seniority list and make less than Im going to now. Furlough projections keep slipping literally every week. Those of us who had to vote have access to more info than you do from the outside looking in.
