My family and I decided the furlough was the best thing to happen to us. I've been away from my wife and kids for too many years. Missing more than half of their lives. Flying is just not worth it. I started a landscaping business and I'm home every night...this is bliss!
Are you hiring?

BK should be the absolute last choice. Most employers will pull a credit check on you and that could get you weeded out. Try Consuer Credit Counsleing. I think they will work with your creditors and arrange a payment plan. I think they charge you on a sliding scale.Where have y'all ended up? I went back to what nature seems to have intended for me ... flying big boxes in small planes for smaller money.
BTW... since I got furloughed I called my credit card companies and tried to furlough them and they laughed at me. Any advice on bankrupcy verus just not paying for a while until I'm back on my feet.
Keep your head up guys! As bad as it seems now, it could always be worse. Hopefully this economy will get turned around and we can get you all called back. Hang in there.
I agree with you. The ACP's should do a better job of communicating what's going on to the furloughed guys. We just had an all hands meeting on the 25th, but nothing earth shattering was put out. Owner flying is still down about 15%.Thanks man. It would be nice to get an update from the company at least. A call from the ACP or letter wouldn't cost much, oh well.

To answer first question, I got the military to take me back.
To answer second question, there are ways to deal with the debt without bankruptcy. The problem with debt reappearing comes about if you literally do nothing. If your finances don't let you pay anything know, one option would be to ignore them for about six months - then go back to them with a cash offer to settle. Word to the wise: don't offer to settle unless you have CASH to make a lump sum payment. Don't give them access to your checking account - send money orders only. Make sure you get an agreement in writing. After 6 months of no payments, you can probably settle for about 50% of the original amount (ignore the interest and penalties they keep adding). This dings the credit rating, but not as much as ignoring it or going bankrupt.
