What a bunch of crybabies on here. The industry is going through a downturn now- some people are gonna get nailed and it's not fun. It doesn't last!

Someone mentioned earlier about the people that got into a regional at the beginning of the wave after 9/11 and hopped quickly to a major but are "now furloughed."

I'm one of those, however a long ways away from being furloughed and should be able to not check off the 'F' box. You cannot beat getting on at the beginning of the wave.

I can't believe I just read someone suggest for the original poster to stay put as a flight instructor. What horrible advice...
