Envoy is your best bet. They have to flow/hire the pilots before they furlough, plus they have furlough protection.

PSA and PDT do not.

Nothing line .66 in the climb to .66 in cruise.... the only jetliner to make the Avro look like the Concorde. :D

I say Great Lakes - they're the only group out there hurting for pilots SO bad that they couldn't manage a furlough if they wanted to.

Do it!!! :)

Find a place where you can accrue seniority the fastest.

Eagle only has furlough protection for those hired before 2 yrs ago I believe. You'd still be hosed there

This^^ ...the only furlough protection is pilots beneath you. Go somewhere growing and with a quick upgrade.

To figure out who is upgrading quickly, look for an airline that is adding airframes. The smaller the seniority list the faster you will accumulate relative seniority.
Throw in commutability or bases you would consider moving to for a nebulous amount of time. Health insurance, work rules, flow, equipment, travel benefits, vacation, type of coffee they brew in the training center, type of hotels they typically overnight in, and how many gift cards you get for interviewing. Did I miss anything?

I agree, go to great lakes. They're so short staffed the will hire everyone's furloughs. Get in now before the down turn.
