And aside from Southwest, who else is hiring? No one for whom I'd want to fly...that's for sure. Corporate gigs? You'd have to talk to a lot of corporate pilots before you find one that wouldn't trade places with us. NetJets wouldn't be bad, but even they're trying to trim down the roster.
I'm out of the loop.....SWA is hiring?
I have a buddy at NetJets. I just talked to him today and they are trying to mitigate furloughs over there too. Their business is waaaaaaay down. Point is NetJets isn't an option right now.

No. SWA has not hired since 9/08, I believe. Management at SWA says they are fat on pilots.

Good point. They are not. I've been out of the loop too. Once I put on the brown uniform, I never thought I'd need to be in the loop on who else is hiring.
Besides, why would anyone else want to hire a furloughed UPS pilot? They know we'd go back when recalled; they don't want to get burned.
Moreover, I'd sooner prostitute myself in the men's room down at the bus station before I'd Pay For Training, A.K.A 737 Type at Southwest.
So, that settles it. No other flying jobs.

About the only flying jobs out there seem to be some contract work in the fragrant harbor or flying those lovely Chinese built regional jets. How is your Chinese? What is a Chinese regional operation like? Do the schedulers shout at you "You want hundrad dollah!" for JA assigments
