I was furloughed over the phone by an assistant to the Chief Pilot.

Was told that I would be back within 6 months. I was wise enough not to rely on that entirely.

I found a desk job in an entirely other industry (private detective) and eventually ended up back at school.

The recall came more than two years later.

Now is maybe the perfect opportunity to explore new adventures and try something different. Not many people get laid off with the knowledge that the company will/may call you back. Get your feet wet with something else and then go back to the cockpit when you can.

If you sit around waiting for a recall you may shoot yourself in the foot.
