There are not that many rotor jobs out there, believe me, I have looked lol. I think that with now four regionals closed or closing and all the main line furloughs, any amount of open flying jobs are going to be, or already are, taken. I think this deal will only work well for those that already have a side gig they can live off of, or could live off of should they have the time to do it full time, people with another professional skill set or those that have a spouse who can carry they weight for a few years.

Either way, I am glad that the company is offering this, even though it is in the contract, as even one person taking it is one less furlough. I just wish they opened it up to other fleets and perhaps a shorter period of time as I would have really considered taking it.
