Surfnski,
I get around to quite a few flight departments in my work; actually I meet a lot corporate guys and gals that were furloughed or disgusted with the airline. They populate quite a few departments here and overseas. I've flown with ex-Delta, ex-AA, ex-TW, lots of ex-UA guys in our and other departments. Last month I flew with an ex-CX pilot and meet a retired SQ pilot who now flies a Challenger in Asia.
It all depends on the T&C, QOL, is the job in a city they want to live in, etc. Our 2 UA and 2 AA guys aren't going back--the UA guys resigned on the second recall, pretty final. I'm ex-EA, BTW.
