Either way, I am glad that the company is offering this, even though it is in the contract, as even one person taking it is one less furlough. I just wish they opened it up to other fleets and perhaps a shorter period of time as I would have really considered taking it.

Rucker is hiring like crazy. Just saying. It is what it is but year 1 is about to be over 100k with a good schedule, weekends/all holidays/donsas off. Making more now than as a 5 year captain. If one were to take the VLOA and have this gig, good coin. Not every rtp guys choice but was nice to get. Rotor jobs are out there.
