I was furloughed July1st, it took several months, and just got hired at Mesaba. Luckily they were hiring, but looks like it is hard to get an interview right now with so many guys searching for jobs. Back to the 121 training for the second time in a year. My advise is to get a wife that makes decent money, cause this career does not pay enough starting off. I wish I had another degree to fall back on other then aviation. The medical field is the way to go right now.
