File For Unemployment!!

No one has mentioned this and it is simple to do...File for unemployment over the internet. You have put your tax dollars into this fund so use it to your advantage. I have been there and done that. Takes less than an hour to file and the sooner you do it the sooner you can collect. It averages about $275.00 a week which is better than nothing. Becareful though if you are able to fly a day or two of contract work while you are collecting unemployment. All you have to do that week is answer YES to the question if you were able to work that week. You will not get paid that week but you can continue to collect the following week if you do not work the follwoing week.

Good Luck looking for that ultimate flying gig. Most will agree with me, sometimes a firing or closing of a flight department is the best thing to have happen to yourself. It has happened to me and motivated me to find a superior job compared to the previous employment.
