A furloughed regional pilot could make the case during their interview that they were ready to move on and see the world.

Came back from recurrent last week and happy to keep my job. No one can say what the formula is to be hired, but I have seen several new hires from regionals and a mil guy last month on OE. Very sharp, great attitudes. My examiner let us know we recently drew in one T-Bird, but didn’t take 2 B-Angels. B.S? can’t say, not a witness - but I have known this examiner for many years and he is a truth be told middle ground (between company/union) great guy. What I am getting at is: If you want to be here definitely apply cuz you never make the shot you never take. Definitely better qualified people than you or me have not been hired, and of course less qualified hired as well. Anyone’s guess...

As for not taking 2 Blue Angels, that really is not surprising to me. When looking at such applicants HR is going to be hypersensitive to any indication of "my sh*t does not stink", perhaps to the point of over reading minor things.
Hiring is a black art and very few are any good at it.
