Anyone like yourself who was Captain flying the big iron isn't happy about any of this........don't shit yourself.  You're just as bummed about this as the rest of us.  

I know what you're saying.............you're happy to have found employment doing something else.  This whole thing just sucks.  I guess that's what I'm saying.  It just sucks.

The majors and major cargo is the only stable pilot jobs- and they aren't safe either. Good luck out there.

The Majors???  Have you looked at American lately?  I would say UPS, FedEx, Southwest, and NetJets are the safest right now.  But who knows what tomorrow will bring.

vmax - you may have misinterpreted what I meant, I only meant that I am happy to have a job that will have me home every night and is still in aviation.  That is the ONLY thing making me happy about it - I'm taking no pleasure in anyone else's misfortune, believe me.

Also, as to FedEx being safe......  They have cut the guarantee by 4 hours and as they park 72s they will be having lots of people getting shuffled around.

My brother in law is at FedEx and he said it is getting kinda sucky there.....  relatively speaking of course.....

No, I know what you meant and I could have worded that  a little different.  I guess it just sucks to look out over the horizon to the disaster the aviation industry has become.  But I guess that goes for a lot of industries.
