You have no idea how unemployment works, do you?

Unemployment requires that you're actively seeking work. You're no longer eligible for unemployment if you turn down an offer.

> I suggest applying for airline roles first you qualify for (if you prefer unemployment to working a suboptimal job at Amazon), at least until they're nationalized in the next 8 weeks.

Did I miss a news article about this? Or are you just speculating?

Moreover, airline roles are going to be the last to open up. It's going to take a long time for airlines to return to their former capacity, and their employees who were furloughed or laid off are going to be recalled first.

Some states are waiving the need to seek work, temporarily. In some cases, this is blanket, and in others, it's situational (i.e. if you believe you may be sick), or if you're laid off but your employer has given you a return date - even if only tentative.
