This past year has been full of ups and downs - and mostly downs - in the airline industry. Randy's company started laying off pilots in the fall of 2008 and since then we've figured his days at the helm of a CRJ 200 were limited.
Probably the most unexpected thing was how long it actually took. After getting rid of over 300 pilots during several waves of layoffs, the airline abruptly stopped. Finally, in October, it was Randy's turn and his last day of work was Halloween.
Two weeks after Randy thought he flew a jet for the very last time, he got a letter offering his job back. Of course, this was a pleasant surprise for us.
Randy is still keeping an eye out for new (more stable) career possibilities, but plans to start back with the airlines in January 2010.
So with that said, if you are interested in hiring a pilot or engineer, or looking to fill a position in any other job in the New York City area requiring excellent analytical and people skills, see his Linked In profile here:
