Many furloughed guys will say they won't "lower" themselves to CAL's horrible lifestyle, flying, etc., but it sure beats unemployment........ANY DAY. Yes, we may have horrible schedules, bad pay, etc., but we have some great people to work with, great airplanes, and make the best with what we have. Let me know if you end up in EWR on the B737 and I'll take you out for a nice dinner when we fly together. Just send me a PM and we'll work from there. frats, ewrbasedpilot
I am a furloughed UAL guy as well and junior to Andy.....I will buy the beers. Hats off to you brother......

Thanks much. I'm hoping to not take you up on the offer; TUS-EWR would be a brutal commute. Wife's got one more tour in the AF before retiring so moving's out of the question for 2 1/2 years.
