Right?
"So sorry to inconvenience you with a loss of seniority in order to go work for a better company with more stability and better compensation."
You have to break some eggs to make an omelette. "It's just business." Isn't that what we were told with regards to our contract? It applies to other situations as well. If a weak company can't find a way to treat its employees in a way that maintains enough morale to keep from imploding... Well, that's just business.
It stands to reason the the companies that can pay well for pilots should pay well for other workers as well. It's for this reason that every time a regional airline dies, it's a net gain for the industry and its workers.
