All while taking a large pay hit for training pay and small hit for first year pay. I feel helpless as I know it’s a question of not if, but when furloughs come.

Nobody’s talking furloughs yet. It’s a totally different position Deltas in right now than the last couple times they furloughed. If they need to cut pilots, all they have to do is not hire while our record retirement start kicking in. Let’s pray that’s the worst it gets.. In the meantime, we all need to stick together and do what we can to keep the losses at a minimum.

Now I'm staring at months (or possibly years) before getting picked up.

I am so sorry to hear this. I am truly hoping this is short term but it’s anyone’s guess. I’m fully expecting to get sent home between start of class and June.

I feel bad for all in these situations.
it’s too late now, but an idea for future candidates when this all turns around. When I was hired I bought a couple thousand dollars worth of puts on delta as a hedge if something happened. I obviously didn’t want anything to happen, but if it did I would have at least had some more cash.
kind of wishing that I would of stuck with it at this point.
