Well its been announced my airline will be furloughing even more pilots in January. So it looks like I'll be out of a job this time around. I was lucky to miss the first and second round, but even more are coming. This Delta-Northwest merger is really screwing us over.
On the bright side, I'm planning on a massive Amtrak trip after I'm out. Using points and paying for some parts, I'm going to take a round the country trip starting in Dallas to San Antonio to New Orleans to Washington DC to Chicago to San Fran to Seattle to Chicago. Then back to DC on the Cardinal, up to Boston, then the Lake Shore back to Chicago and the Texas Eagle back home to Dallas. Not sure of the dates yet, but its going to be a blast! And will hopefully keep my mind off the fact that I don't have a job.
