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!
