I really admire your attitude. I'm a regional FO and would certainly leave this place in a heart beat for a better major like Delta. Even if forlough was inevitable. Granted I don't have a family to support so this is all just one man's thoughts. Everyones situation is different. I'd use the time away from flying to bartend or something and "chase muff around the pool". As soon as the market goes up and 401k's are worth jack/age 65 plays you'll be back in action better then ever. On that note, best of luck to all the folks that can't afford the break.
What? Esqueeze me?

The ones that cannot afford it are the ones who have simple things like a house, a wife and maybe a kiddo or two.
23K a year, or even 50K as one person pointed out would not cut it. If this gets bad, it is time for a new industry.

Oh, we'll get thrown under the bus. Had a DAL-N 320 CA in the jumpseat that told us retiree health care premiums were more important than the 76-seat issue. He was such an idiot that I couldn't even respond. He then went on blabbering about how he should have gotten a dynamic list so that us DAL-S guys wouldn't benefit from the DAL-N retirements. He was talking to himself most of the time.

You can't afford it if you don't live with your parents. I'll take it a step further.

We have some selfish 8ssholes working here. He's upset because he won't reach his coveted 747 captain seat. He doesn't care about the 76-seat issue because he is senior enough to be gone before it would affect him. Why should he care if it f*cks the entire profession after he's gone?
Seems to be a recurring theme in this part of aviation...this attitude seems to rear its ugly head far too often.
There's something to be said for leaving things in better shape than you found them...for others too.
