I'd have to be honest and say I really don't care about furlough pay. As a 22 year FO pay that would be maybe ??? $75,000??? best case. If I had to sit reserve and give up my day job I'd lose at least that every year I delay. So in my case to answer your question I wouldn't factor it in because it would be irrelevant for my long term plan. All I have is history to go on and my own limited history shows to put confidence in events outside my control. The furlough pay would be outside my control.
