Not responding specifically to your post, Nuke. Just quoting you so as to make a general comment. Plus you hope for better days for the NK people.

I am slightly (but not totally) surprised at the number of comments making light of.... no, actually making fun of, people who have lost their jobs. Has aviation been so good for so long that most people haven't experienced this?
When you are furloughed, or your airline liquidates, it usually means no one else is hiring. Even if airlines x or y are hiring, it takes many months to get hired and work your way through the hiring pool.
And jokes aside, yes one does then work at Walmart or go get their CDL to drive trucks. (only to have their trucking company go chapter 7 while 800 miles from home)

I am long retired, but lived through 4 airlines going bellyup. (plus one canceling a new hire class on me at the last minute, after having already quit my charter job)
While my sympathy won't buy anyone a cup of coffee, for any furloughed pilot reading this, you have my sympathy. Wishing you all to land on your feet, but I know that for some circumstances will prevent that from happing..
