Hey heres some food for thought, The age 60 increased to 65 actually helps a lot of us now, how so:
1) if those guys retired next year, some of us would be say 1-2yr regional fo with roughly 1-2,000hrsTT, fast up in the ranks of the regionals but not quite to the majors when the hiring boom hits
2) now when those same guys retire in 4-5 yrs, the same pilot will possibly be a regional capt with 4-5,000tt and PIC turbine to boot, boom bam straight to a major
My point, every cloud has a silver lining, everyone who is discouraged now, myself included, could be in real good shape for the next boom, assuming of course we stick it out, and the economy recovers. Just a thought that mabye some hope exists for us that are up to our necks in debt trying to fulfill a passion...Keep the Faith

If your on furlough like I will be in another three weeks, find somthing to do to hold out and support your family, till this blows over, Im going back to driving a truck, and by all means dont give up your seniority number, wait for recall if you can, and hang in there..
