When the economy takes a dump and airlines furlough again and yes it will happen again we just don't know when yet. Non airline companies will absorb the laid off airline guys and guess what if they know you screwed them over, they wont hire you. Not to mention word spreads and for all you know numerous places know who not to hire by word of mouth. So in the end you are just screwing yourself of job security. Just because the pilot market is good now for the airlines doesn't mean its going to last.
