TSA furloughing was the best thing that happened to me. I got out before getting furloughed back in 2006 and couldn't be happier. I believe out of the 48 furloughed back in 2006, 13 or so came back? Not sure of the actual number, but there weren't many who returned.

I am definitely sorry to hear about those who were furloughed, but try to make the best of it by finding a better place to work. I was happy at Trans States, but that was because I didn't have anything to compare it to. Ask anyone who has left and gone elsewhere how they feel now and it should hopefully make you feel better.

We had one guy who got furloughed and went to gojet. I saw him the other day as a CA and I still feel dirty for being cordial and saying hi.
