I got into IT. Not near as fun as flying, but I feel much more secure and started out with the same pay I was making after 6+ years at the Beagle. It looks like I will be getting a substantial raise after my first year as well. I know money isn't everything, but it is nice to get a good check right off the bat as opposed to busting your a$$ for YEARS before you can make a decent wage.

So what is your story? I believe I've seen posts where you have been furloughed before and got sick of the whole deal. Can't say I blame you. I nearly missed being furloughed at a previous airline job by seeing the writing on the wall there. Unfortunately, I went from one crap hole company to Eagle (a crap hole company). Didn't make up any ground in that transaction. LOL

Good luck and happy living!
