Best wishes to all those directly affected by this. Furloughed or not, all of us suffer when the operation contracts...yet again.

If there's any bright side to this, it might be that this gives some of us an opportunity to seriously reevaluate the future of the regional airline segment of the industry in general, and the future of Comair in particular.

I'm not trying to make light of the situation at all, but being furloughed from a company where one is likely to not earn significantly more than $40,000/yr. - $45,000/yr. for the next six to ten years might not be all bad. If one is qualified, Net Jets is starting new hires at around $67,000/yr...and their future seems much brighter than Comair's.

Again, best wishes. I hope all who are furloughed and, after evaluating the situation, still want to return, get to do so very soon.
