Hi!

You need to understand that other people have different situations than yours. I'm NOT furloughed, I'm laid off, with no assurance I'll be called back. Currently they are flying 10 aircraft with 8 pilots. I think they'll go tits up. I had about 5" notice of my layoff. I AM lucky, in that my CEO had a job, but there are others from my airline, and others in a situation like mine, except that their spouse doesn't work, and it's not easy for their spouse to get a job, or they don't have a spouse.

If you have bills, and want to keep living in your house/apartment, unemployment only goes so far, and then it runs out.

I am looking for ANY decent job anywhere, commuting or not. If I am hired in Africa, with no commute, I'll take the job and live there, and see my family a couple of times a year, until I can find a better job. I would go to Gojet, vs. sitting at home with no job, and then losing our house.

I know a guy laid off from a major, who was offered a street captain job at GoJet. He turned it down because he was furloughed (vs. laid off-he planned on getting called back), and he got a job with a railroad. He just found out though, that he will probably be soon furloughed from his railroad job.
