May you do as recommended above and pursue other avenues as a backup in the mean time to flying. 9-11 saw me doing construction for quite awhile and making more money than flying at the time. I’ve since used the education in that to line of work to take care of my own homes/rentals. As we are about to see flying is a luxury, not required for life. And 20 years later I’d probably be making more in construction still.

Nope. I’ve started reading up on Section 23. Looks like we’re on that path....hope for the best. Good luck to everyone.

A lot of it depends on the state. But essentially you’re paid a percentage of what you made per month.
Have to prove certain things. Show you’re trying to get a job etc etc.
