Anyway - I would say it depends on how much time you have - were you looking for a flying job before the furlough?

My recommendation is that with the current economic climate, even if you were recalled, another furlough could be around the corner. I'd bypass the recall, use the scholarship and get the degree. In a year, there may be better jobs out there if you don't want to go back to the piston operator. Personally, I think a masters would look better than a year of flight time at a piston operator, down the road.
