Unemployment benefits are based on what you were making prior to being let go. If vote yes and you are apart of the approx 1600 pilots that will be furloughed your unemployment benefits will be less than prior to the vote. Also, if you are displaced to the right seat would you make more on unemployment?
Look into retraining benefits that your state might offer if you are furloughed.
Good luck.
