Here's the deal. I had a decent paying job before leaving to instruct full-time in the summer of 2006. I saw the door hiring door closing at the end of 2007 and made the move in a regional in December. There are a little more than a hundred pilots below me at the regional based in ATL. I love it here and hope I can stay. But like everybody at the bottom, I contemplate my future daily. I'm tired of commuting while on reserve but don't want to move my wife and kids here only to get F'ed.
With all this on my mind I had an interesting phone call today...not scheduling but my old boss from 2006. He hasn't been able to fill my position with a fully qualified person. He asked if it'd be possible to for me to come back; if not for good then for 6-9 months to train somebody. Now a furlough wouldn't be so bad.
Like I said before, I love flying. Love flying here, but hate the uncertainty right now. Although the company isn't talking about furloughs seeing the lines for September makes me wonder.
I don't know. What would you do? Take the new offer and come back later...or stick it out.
Maybe I just had a rough day and am just venting....probably but some input would be nice.
