Nevermind that the airlines have parked thousands of airplanes permanently and have no money to buy more. They will be cash strapped for a decade, much like the 2000's.

Their new thing now is polishing your LinkedIn page, if you have one. Nothing against businesses making money but when I see thousands of my fellow pilots on the street and vulnerable it just rubs me the wrong way to see these vultures lying in wait. If you are offended by my statement then you are probably one of them. Best of luck to all my XJ peeps..
Sad to hear this. Taking advantage of desperate people surely has a special place in hades.

They enjoyed the last few years of riding the monetary tidal wave on the backs of aspiring pilots and then all of a sudden, as if overnight, their relevance dissolved into nothing. At times they were even allowed to partner up with the airlines HR....but that's another thread. I will not call any by name but you'll recognize the scam as soon as you see it. Furloughed? Call us! We can help you with your new resume -as if to suggest a much deeper understanding of the new market trends via LinkedIn. Bunch of &^%&. Tell you what... If I'm getting furloughed, which I'm intimately familiar with, they'd never be on my list of things to do.

If some "vulture" helps me interview and get a job at Amazon because my linked in and resume needed a little polishing, I think it will be money well spent.
