Lear70, gt1900 was wrong. My response was to him calling Airline #5 out because he had an OPINION about the Midwest deal. I too have been furloughed a few times. I don't take it personally because it was beyond my control. What I could control was I show up on time and do a good job and then go home. So is gt1900 saying that in 1999, 2000, and 2001 the men and women that accepted jobs at American, United, Delta, US Airways, Continental were all wrong then? NO they were not, those airlines were all hiring and EVERYONE, including folks at AirTran were trying to knock down the doors at one of these carriers. When many pilots were furloughed from one of those carriers, many tried other opportunities to fulfill their dreams. Some have worked and others haven't. If I knew the future, I would have that lucky lottery number and would retire now. None of us know if we've made the right airline career choice until it is time to retire.
