johnso and stryker,

Thanks guys! In a round about way it was good timing. I would have never been home for Christmas and Thanksgiving had I not been on the street. The scramble to find a job, then a second one when the first didn't pan out is something I could do without for a while. Being single and on first year pay made it easier. I can't imagine facing this with kids, mortgages, etc. It has definitely made me take a long hard look at my finances with an emphasis on my savings (or lack thereof).

There are still a lot of guys here that are furloughed, and I have friends at other airlines who are as well. Hopefully it turns around for all of us soon.
