I'm a former Midway guy and there were no considerations at all...I received a call at 1153pm saying they were filing at midnight and that I would be contacted as to how to pick up my stuff...they held my flight bag hostage until I gave them my id badge...they changed all the locks over night and reissued new id's on the spot to the chosen ones that were allowed to remain with the sinking ship. Let's not forget, they did NOT lay off in seniority order, they did so by aircraft type, a very nice screwjob from ALPA and our MEC...but I digress.
