So you're rather be furloughed than work at Compass. Is that what you're saying.

By the way, let me be the first to say that we all wish you would change your avatar back to the old one.
Yeah disregard, i checked my email and saw the MEC message, sucks

I have nothing bad to say about Compass. I just would not commute from ANC for the job, there is work up here. Hopefully I won't need to worry about that.

It would depend on how long the furlough might last. You could make more on unemployment than working at Compass.

I would go overseas, due to the money. I think you will see a lot of pilots going to the Asia from ATA, Aloha, and the others that are closing their doors. Why go to a commuter, when there are growing airlines with new equipment looking for pilots.
