I did not make it to my condo so I never got to meet these two guys and ask them how their job search is coming along. These are extraordinarily difficult times, not just in aviation, but in all sectors and every profession. It is easy to say these two are prostituting themselves and lowering the bar, but does anybody have any real suggestions for them? What are they supposed to do? Take a job at McDonald's? Note that they have not had a single nibble from any corporation or airline, let alone be able to fly for food only. To be honest, I think the "will fly for food" poster is nothing more than a gimmick to attract attention. A staff member from a nearby food bank approached them, but they declined the offer of free food.

Washington's Employment Security Department (aka unemployment office) has this new program called Self Employment Assistance Program (SEAP). Perhaps these two fellows can take advantage of this program.
