Hopefully, not another regional! I have friends at various LCCs that operate A320s...hoping to break out of the RJ mold in the resume stack with the Type Rating. As much as I'd like to 'hang out' and wait for that class in Tulsa, my 'clwock is tickin,' as Marisa Tomei said in "My Cousin Vinny." Thankfully, I've had a supportive family and financial resources to weather the Comair shutdown insofar.

I'm really bumming because I was looking forward to the Omni schedule; it works best for my particular extracurricular activities. I looked forward to the varied flying that went with the job, too. I hope the Bolivia contract expands to more hours & more flying becomes available in other parts of the Company's portfolio and leads to recalls and new-hires once again. I thought the new rest rules might cause a bump in recalls, too. I was really hoping the furlough was more of the "Evergreen-type" that lasted only 2-3 months during a momentary down-turn in hours.
