I vote for closing this thread. Not constructive at all.

As for the furloughees, of which I am one, yeah it sucks but like many have said before: that's how it works in this industry. Would I like to go back? Yup. But I can hardly believe that the few hundred each pilot got (and probably need) would pay for me and 79 other guys/gals to sit on reserve.

So I'll stay here and wait for a callback when I'm actually needed. That's better for me than getting furloughed a second time on Sept. 1.
