It is a lot better than what my buddies at CAL are getting. Unemployment has run out and guess what, still no job. These are people with 8K hrs and 6K PIC 121. Great resumes, that have gone to find jobs in Wal-mart etc. You would be given a job, which is better than most furloughees get.
Easy to say when you're not at the bottom of the list. I'd rather be furloughed than forced to take a 50% pay cut.
