I have known people who have been furloughed, however, no one I know has the attitude of Skyhigh. Sky, you sound miserable man.
I feel confident that I can make such an assumption. In a previous post you mentioned that you come from an "aviation family". That much good luck doesnt just happen to such a small group. I am sure that all of you went to the AF and each one got a pilot slot in the equipment of your choice. I would also bet that it wasn't long before you got on at the majors. Often guys in your position cant recognise the help you have received since you assume that everyone has an uncle who is in command of an air wing of brother who is on the hiring board at CAL.
As for me you assume that I am miserable. I am sad that my dream failed me however I am very happy to be outside of aviation now and feel obligated to tell as many as I can that life on the outside is very good. For most the regionals are a painful dead end. Those who made it without help are humble and respectful of those who didn't see their dream come true. Your smug arrogant attitude is unattractive and gives you away.

It is better to be lucky than good in regards to aviation.
