$1200 after tax is better then $0.00 if we get Furloughed.

If you are not going to do something else in the mean time, thats your business. My frustrations, financial plan and future hopes is not his, yours or the next guys. Agree to disagree

Especially when you have to pay your Riddle loans at $700 a month...

They're specifically giving it to people who didn't have their car stolen 3 times during training

So, you would rather them say "no furlough" so you can sleep better tonight and then call them liars when they do furlough?

hmm... I never said I didn't plan on doing nothing. I hold 2 jobs right now, $1000 a month student loans to pay also. I would like to make ASA my primary job. I already made plans if I get furloughed and just wait for recall. The truth is that there is not much employment options out there for pilots right now. I had friends that may have no place to go if they get furloughed and that sucks. I take COMAs, LOAs when I can to help share the wealth. If you took my comment on "carefull what you wish for" as a insult then I am sorry. I didn't mean it like that. Lets not start chewing at each other, it effects all of us man.
