Now, if they recall the furloughed guys and some choose not to return, that may create openings.
No, no not at all, I'm sorry if thats the way I made it seem. I know the furloughed guys get priority over us at the airlines, and that is the way it should be. I'm talking about the night cargo and the Pt. 135 jobs, it is hard for a guy like me to be competitive right now against a guy on furlough from an airline.
I realize I sound like I'm whining, but I understand why things are the way they are right now. Please don't think that I believe I am above paying my dues in this industry, I know that is the standard and to expect to not have to would be downright dumb.
