Man if I were you I would call Monday and ask to be put in a class. You can’t possibly owe your current employer enough to delay nearly a year of seniority. We are in the middle of unprecedented hiring by UPS standard and there is no telling how long we will hire at this rate. The seniority you are giving up is worth potentially 100s of thousands of dollars. If I were you I would work out a payment plan with your current employer or do whatever you have to do to get in the first class.
If you don’t believe me maybe one of our furloughed guys can put it in prospective of what 109 seniority numbers means.

Just expanding on that, but paying back 6 figure debt is not easy even at our FO income level. Family, mortgage, kids school, etc play a role. Comparing todays debt to future earning isn’t always so simple. You’ve got to enjoy the ride instead of just playing for the end. I’ve been forced to make decisions that financial people would disagree with, but did so in order to live a less stressful life in the present. Have to live for both.

That still leaves the furlough threat but you can't live your life in fear of furlough... gotta live for today. I know many will think I'm crazy but I'm looking at the long term plan.

You are aiming at early retirement - I would get that earlier class date and ask your previous employer for a reasonable payment plan.
