Think of it this way: They would not hesitate to furlough you if they needed to cut back and nobody in management would lose any sleep.
It's just business.
Anyway, what Dutch said. Apply anyway. You never know.

Sounds possible that I went overboard and screwed myself.

Don't know if this was published before but expecting to hire 400 to 450 pilots in the 747 400 this year. Last year all new hires were based in ANC. Able to bid to lower 48 in 3 to 9 months. 3 767s to be acquired this year and possibly many more than that. Pilots hired to 767 this year is unknown.
Im a 17 year 747 400 Captain and check airman. Don't know how to change status under name (not a new hire..)

That status changes as a function of how many posts one puts up here.
