That one was via an in house union, when you were more than likely not yet learning how to fly. I am always amused at the perception that somehow the realities of the business cycle (and the fact that the airlines just don't need as many pilots and certainly fewer with attitudes) is the fault of the pilots who have jobs in the eyes of those who don't.

Just saying, if it weren't for timing, I'd have done something else. With an attitude like your's, my advice is you should too. You might not be so paranoid if it weren't for the fact that everyone's out to get you.
Just sayin, I wouldn't be so paranoid if fellow UAL pilots hadn't sold us furloughed guys down the river. See, I've never flown an RJ. And yes, the jobs not that great....hell, you saw to that.
