Places are all over looking for managers etc, pay is about 45 K each year.
I think the thread was just to see who has had an opportunity to fly, not who has a job. People may have jobs, and still not stay current flying. Or, they may get to fly sometimes, to stay current.
I think you need to look at where someone lives, then determine their employment opportunities. If you live in KY or OH, the job market is in a sad state. I live in Florida and the job market in FL is pretty non-existent (and the jobs available are low pay). I think Michigan would be a horrible place to try to look for work!
As for the answer to the original thread: Furloughed 1/2009, flown around 600 hours since furlough.
