I'm enrolled online to finish my undergrad (Criminal Justice with Homeland Security Emphasis). After that, i'm thinking MBA or MSW (Master's Social Work). Always keeping my ear to the tracks for a flying job though. This time, i'll spend my time wisely finishing my degree until things turn around again.

If I had some seniority, even on the FO side, then I "might" be more inclined to hang through the tough times.
I tell you though, I officially resigned from my regional a couple days ago and I haven't been so happy in a long time. I get to look forward to living a regular rooted life and sleeping in my own bed. I have a part time flight instructing job on the side for currency and pocket money. I flew 4 hours today with students. There is much dust on my flight instructor skills right now because I haven't really thought about the nuances of GA flying since I began working as an airline pilot.

That's my point. I'll be better armed with my education to seek out other opportunities when another downturn occurs. Not sure if i'll ever go back to a flying job anyway just for this reason.
