And that is why being a junior 11 year FO is scary. I am not saying that wouldn't happen at an airline but having a few thousand behind you could be helpful if it works out.
Hey Wankel,

That is something that I've been thinking about. After 10 years, I have approx 10% of the list below me. Pretty sad. I don't think furloughs will happen again, but you never know. I for sure know that SWA will be around in 20 yrs. NetJets? Probably, but I have less confidence in that prognostication.
