That is precisely why corporate flight department managers are so frequently loath to hire furloughed airline guys. It costs a bunch of money to get someone up to speed and keep them current. It's a poor investment if the guy is a "flight risk" (pardon the pun) and is even contemplating a return to 121. We recently lost a pilot to 121, and it left a bad taste in our bosses mouth. If we were ever to hire another furloughed or ex-121 type I'd ask them to resign their seniority number.say again said:If I had the chance to go back to the airlines now, I would have to say no. Do I want to get back into the airlines?? Yes. Job security and pay are the leading factors. Unless I find the "perfect" corp gig, I do see myself heading back in that direction. I will not go back to the regionals though, I'm thinking Southwest, JetBlue, etc and we all know it's quite difficult these days. Until any of these scenarios happen, I'm staying put where I am.
