If you’re not in the top 350 or so, you better already be looking for another job.

First year FO pay and the looming furlough are reason enough for it. Hope will not pay the bills unfortunately and that’s the awful reality of this.

Go out and look. I’m interviewing right now for non aviation jobs and there’s many. Guys get your resumes up and find a field you would like to work in. Try to start in July and while your at it take the stay at home lines for July August and September. Take that 30 hours of pay for 3 months While doing something else

Exactly what Da Vinci above says...I’m also looking at non aviation jobs. I’m going to try the ORD commute and reserve nonsense for a month but even I know it’s not sustainable long term.
I’m happy having full time work in something else and taking a stay at home line and when furloughs happen I’ll still be okay.
Guys who were born here, c’mon this is America, if me as an immigrant believes there’s all kinds of opportunity here no matter what the situation then you guys who know the system better than I do shouldn’t have problems finding something.
