From: awkward & cramped

Furloughed by Shrinkair (Comair) 11/5/08. Had a job in place in the Middle East that was supposed to begin 11/15, but didn't start until 2/18. Still very grateful to have a flying job in this environment, especially one that pays very well. 6 weeks on/2 weeks off is tough with a wife and three young children.

Good luck to all my brothers and sisters out there.

Furloughed October 08' from Conair. Work like a dog at 2 jobs that I don't care for. (I guess it's good to have any job nowadays tho...) Headed to the military soon, hopefully!

Ok relax! Yes I am very blessed to have a job. Not complaining about that. Im complaining about being in the industry for close to a decade and four airlines and making twenty grand a year. SORRY for my bad attitude. I was just stating facts, thats all. I know there are many on here that have it 20 times worse than I do, with way more experience, furloughs, and family hardships. It was not my intention to upset or compete with anyone. I will try to refrain from mis-leading posts in the future. Here is to a positive 2009.
