furloughed aug, '08, and was lucky enough to find a 135 job in sept, glad i got furloughed when i did pretty sure had it been a month or two later i would still be looking. plenty of friends with more time/more quality time, than me still looking. not sure if id even go back to my 121 carrier as my QOL at my 135 op is a million times better. good luck to you guys out there still without work, it has to turn around sometime right? also any ideas as to what are competitive hours in our current aviation climate for various work?
