wow, furlough notice by phone?!? TSA is really turning into the likes of a bad gf..... at least in 2006 they had the decency to do it in person......Bah.....still sucks for you guys.....

As others have said though, most (me included) from the 2006 group went on to MUCH greener pastures. This could be a good thing in disguise. Keep your head up, find some options and good luck.

And as for the numbers, I heard in 2006 there were 60 of us overall affected, and I think it was 10 or less that went back. Half of my TSA class and the class before me ended up at XJT. TSA will likely be hiring again by September/October ...... Mark my words.
