I'm surprised nobody has said anything about people whoring them selves out. I'm sure there are so many low time guys dying to fly free. I hope everybody stands up and doesn't fly for B.S. pay because they can't find a job.
Well, you are doing the right thing. Like I said before, the big thing is going to be the loss of health insurance, especially for people that have a family. Problem is, there are quite a few new-hires that just came out of a certain "academy", that all they know how to do is fly an airplane. Some of them don't even have a a 4 year degree, and those are the same guys that will move back in with their parents, who paid for their flight training in the first place. I'm not making this up, I've actually heard this from a few guys in Ops.
And for the guys that are saying there are no Flying jobs out there right now, I call BS on that. You are not looking hard enough, not using your co-workers, friends, family to network or are "too good" to fly anything other than a jet. There quite a few jobs out there that pay you more than you make now and give you full health benefits. I know it might be though to pack up and move to another state, especially with a family.
If you want to sit around and wait for recall, you will be waiting for a very long time...
