All while taking a large pay hit for training pay and small hit for first year pay. I feel helpless as I know it’s a question of not if, but when furloughs come.
Just remember that it can always be worse. I'm currently unemployed. Wife and 2 kids. Got the interview invite from Delta during my 4 weeks severance from my last job. I had been applying for 5 and half years and suddenly the invite came when I needed it most. I spent $900 on the interview while unemployed. I received a CJO, but never got a class date. Now I'm staring at months (or possibly years) before getting picked up.
I have no idea where I may end up at this point.
