Not trying to sound off as a jerk, but as an instructor you preach and teach situational awareness. If you are seriously considering moving from the instructional world to 121 world always besure to take a look around at ther airlilnes in general. Even just looking in the newspaper, most airlines are talking about furloughs.

There are a bunch of good sources on this site in the airlines profiles pages and they will tell you tons about the companies you may want to apply to most likely when the trend changes. When it comes to applying, do your research so that way you know which places may be best for you, your family, career, etc.
