I've meet a pilot who avoided furlough by 3 pilots. Other people in his class were out for 3 years. With the movement coming up any aircraft is a good one and once your 1 year seat lock is up you will have a better picture of where you want to be.
I had no desire to defer, but I only had so much leave based upon my retirement date. I could've done some creative leave accounting to make it happen, but I didn't think it was worth culminating a 21 year career with a fraud investigation. It'll be 60 numbers since I had to defer 15 September as well.
