My cousin got furloughed from Alaska Airlines a year ago or so. He was hardcore into flying and loved flying the B737. He now lives where he wants, is home with his wife and baby EVERY night, and has a bigger and more steady paycheck. He won't even talk about the airlines anymore. It's a taboo subject in the house. He won't ever go back. He rents from a local FBO and loves life.
I agree with every one else on this thread. Quit and cut the losses.
