So, I might be furloughed after all. My earlier statement that I have 189 below me and that they’re furloughing 150 was correct. I failed to take into account the fact that 49 of those below have already been furloughed, but are on the seniority list. There’s much discussion and disagreement about whether or not this is the case. I’m inclined to believe that they are on the list, which would put me as the 10th from the last person to be furloughed. If 10 folks senior to me decide to take voluntary leave, then I’m good. If they do not, I’ll be out of a job.

I should find out on October 3, probably toward the end of the day. Wish me luck.

I haven’t got a plan B, thus far. Most flying jobs I could consider would involve moving from Colorado Springs in order to make less money than Joanna is currently making, which is something of a precarious move. I figure it won’t hurt to delay thinking about it until after Friday.

    I really hope that things manage to work out for you guys. If all else fails, you guys can move to Alaska and Jonah can run for governor. From what I hear, she’s more than qualified.

    Are there any bush pilot jobs in Chicago? With all the time she spent running the Bremer’s place I’m sure she’d make a great community organizer. All you’d really need is to befriend a terrorist or two, then have a criminal buy half of your favorite parcel of land.
