Were you guys not offered voluntary furloughs?? I'm sure some of the guys don't mind 2-3 month break as long as they keep their benefits during the leave. So sorry to hear about the displacements. Hope it stays displacement and furlough remains at 20!! Flashback of '08! Took me 2.5yrs to get recalled. Horrible!

I've been furloughed in my past..Eastern express back when there was an Eastern Airlines. Keep your chin up, don't let the BK ruin your attitude. I have a freind who just left Omni Air, it looks like they're hiring regional guys/girls. He was a Dash 8 capt. and went into the DC 10 right seat. Give it a shot!
