This makes me glad i chose the career route i did -- was offered to pay €30k for a FR course, but declined, and got a B200 job. Doing the TR now, very friendly company and excellent terms and benefits. Paid during rating and a very stable job for years to come...
No work, no money? Call it what you like, being laid off, on unpaid leave, or temporarily fired... stinks anyway. Don't know about you guys but I enjoy money.
