As far as I know about getting a free or partially paid type rating, it depends which state you live in. I've also heard it is a pretty limited number and they can run out pretty quick. Check with your local unemployment office.

Sorry to all the guys that are getting furloughed, I wasn't too far behind myself and I wish everyone the best. I would start looking for a job right away. If there is anything I can do to help, please send me a PM, I have quite a few contacts in the aviation industry, especially if you are from the West coast.
