Dude, I recently went to an interview for Compass for an FO at $22/hr and 11 days off.... there were 23000 hours ATA captains and 5000+ hr USAF GV and C17 drivers..

Wish there were those opportunities, sadly.. a job anymore is a blessing!

I did however get an offer in India for the A320 and China for the MD11... if you're willing to relocated and have the necessary resume..

Flight Express, AirNet, Paragon....??

Do yourself a huge favor and get out of the airline side of flying. Try NetJets. There is absolutely no comparison between the airlines and NetJets. The place is amazing. It's nice to work for a company that knows how to take care of their employees.

For heaven's sake, why?

Why would anyone laid off from a major (for example) immediately consign him/her self to the lowest rung of the regional ladder (19k/yr FO) if direct entry captain spots are available? What a waste of talent and experience.

Course, this is what flow-through (in reverse) is supposed to take care of, and I don't think many regional guys are happy with that either.

Having just spent two months solid looking, and with very good qualifications.. I can tell you that a recently laid off pilot might really have no choice. When the 1000+ furloughs hit the street here at the end of summer from the legacies, I can assure you that 95% of them will remain out of aviation if the job market doesn't have a miraculous recovery over the next two months..

Paragon still around??

If your an ATR pilot you can land a two year street captain contract immediately.

not in the US, or did I miss something? I have 400 PIC in it and got rated back in 1999.. I looked everywhere in the US and was willing to even pay my recurrent.. found one in Ireland and two in Asia.

Calm down folks. Look at the guy's name. Larry H. Junior? Can you say "troll"?

That being said, I agree wholeheartedly that a furloughed major pilot should not resign themselves to one of the lowest rungs of the aviation ladder. I have done it twice and I can tell you it is extremely demoralizing. Not only are you having to try to financially support your family on $19-$25,000/yr, but also to come to the realization that after a decade or more of experience you are once again starting over -- and once again are worth no more than a recent Comair Academy graduate with less than 300 hours TT.
