If you are furloughed and have recall rights, then go get a real job. Your top priority is to take care of your family and yourself. It is pretty hard to do either on 16k a year and being gone 20 days a month.

Honestly, I can't understand for the life of me why guys are so anxious to go back out and get used and abused by every d-bag outfit out there for the sake of flying a stupid airplane. You could make more money waiting tables at "waffle House" than you could at Colgan. I would use this gift of being furloughed as an opportunity to expand your career beyond aviation. You just might find something else out there that you enjoy that pays you what your worth.
