Do you really think that most of those currently furloughed pilots aren't employed by other regionals or majors? Yes there are a lot but the ones who are not flying are so by their own choice. Also, the airlines are projecting over 8000 pilots hired every year though 2025, that includes the majors and regionals. So you say a decade worth of pilots? Show me where these 80,000 pilots are?

Don't forget that if you’re furloughed by US Airways and get hired by UPS, FedEx, SWA, etc you still are listed on US Airways furlough list until you resign or are called back and decline. Of all the pilots furloughed I would say that a fraction aren't elsewhere, even if they are just waiting to get recalled, their employed.
