Hi Lori,

Here is my situation, I currently work for an airline (non pilot position)and I am on the upcoming furlough list. I was hired at a regional (for a pilot position)during the last hiring boom, (april 2008) but my class was cancelled and now im trying to obtain some more cfi ratings under my belt..

Financially I am having difficulty. I have talked to several debt counselors and debt management companies, including a bankruptcy attorney. If I were to file for a personal bankruptcy will this affect me in the future getting hired when the airlines start picking up? Is this something the airlines check when doing a background check?? I want to avoid bankruptcy by all means, but its looking like thats what I may have to do...Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Aaron
