I think the opposite. Many of them are probably at cush positions at other airlines for the last 10+ years.

No firm answer or accurate crystal ball and either way, it's going to be a crapshoot. In the past, the decision was abstract, but soon it will be real and no do overs. I'm sure more then a few a squirming on the fence.

Wow. It sounds like the more senior pilots have been out more than 15 years.

I think a bunch of the senior guys on furlough took the "in stead" furlough. I would guess some of them went back to the military to get a retirement. Keep in mind the senior guys at the top of the list were furloughed last and might not have the cush jobs guys furloughed earlier might have.
Anyone know how many waves the furloughs happened in and what years they happened? Some of the senior guys may have seen the writing on the wall and sent apps out, taking an "in stead" furlough once offered a job elsewhere.

Bottom guy gets furloughed first = first opportunity at the next job.
Last guy furloughed might have had fewer options.
Some 'stand in stead' furloughs did it to run businesses full time, fly overseas, etc.
We'll know what everyone decided sometime in the 3rd qtr.

Thanks - I've been taking a C&R break for my own sanity, and haven't been on aapilots in a while, just JetNet to check out my wife's new Gucci bag...
