Sorry to hear that...
Hopefully everyone will land well very quickly. There are a lot of jobs out there in every category of flying.
In this pilot hiring market, I honestly feel that the furloughed pilots will fare better than a company that furloughs them. After all, the pilots WILL go on to find other jobs, but the company will have a VERY hard time rehiring pilots or hiring new ones since they just furloughed so many: I would ask myself who wants to take a job with a company that is doing bad in this market and would I be next to be furloughed?
I wish the best of luck to Georgia Jet and their furloughed pilots.
