Well, I haven't logged onto this forum in a long time, but I was a June 2007 new hire. Flew until late Dec 2008 when the furlough was announced. Instead of taking the furlough, I quit and went back to my previous profession. A decade later, I'm succeeding in said profession, have since bought my own airplane (Cherokee) and am basically happy. But, the "dream" to go back still eats at me at bit. I see they are getting pretty thirsty for pilots these days and are sweetening the pot.
