So obviously we all know September 10th I will be furloughed from PSA. Right now I've been looking at various roads I can take. However none of which have involved flying for the time being. I just did some quick math and can manage to live on and pay my bills with roughly 1500. However I would like to pay off some debt as well while I can. Anyways I've talked to several different people about this topic. I am looking at jobs where I know I can make 35k on up right now. Some of which may turn into a long term job if needed based on the recall. Also I'm looking into doing some part time CFI stuff on the side. Right now I sit at about 900TT/600ME and 400SIC. Dually qualified in the CRJ200/700. However I've caught some grief from friends for not pursuing flying due to my, "low time." I can see their point but right now with the state of the industry I guess I just thought it made sense to get a guarantee income (salary job) as opposed to possibly doing some flying as a CFI in Indiana during the fall and winter. Again I plan on trying to do SOME part time instruction just not full time. Advice would be great. I know I just ranted but looking for advice as to if I am making a mistake by looking at non flying jobs while on furlough instead of pursuing a flying job.
