I have mixed feelings about being kept around until September 30 just doing busy work so I can be furloughed.
There are some flying jobs out there right now, especially as a dual rated pilot. By September they will probably be filled.

I remember 9/11. Those furloughed right away found jobs. Those furloughed six months later... no luck.

Not like Americans (not good) but you can certainly leave on your own terms.

Didn't work in the legal field again in a paid position until 2013, and their law school classmates were all working volunteer or minimum wage jobs for years after graduating because of the last recession. The only professional, well paid, educated jobs that are truly recession-proof are nurses and doctors.
