As someone who was furloughed, yes, I do. I was specifically referring to some of those who refer to themselves as deadzoners and thankfully weren't furloughed. Once USAir saw their pension go away in bankruptcy, the clock was ticking for ours. It was awful, but still incumbent upon individual pilots who were not furloughed to begin planning for their own retirement rather than relying on the pension, IMO.
