Nobody is cheering over 1,000 pilots combined on the street. But, sticking your head in the sand as to the future viability of your airline would be foolhardy. The facts don't care about your feelings, so take an honest look at your employer in this situation, your seniority, and your future. And act accordingly with the current plan, or even a plan B or C. Settle down and ride it out in the best way.
There is a difference between telling someone that everyone should take a hard look at whether they need a plan B or C and making wagers on which airline's employees will be unemployed next. Yes, I do think everyone needs to consider what they will do in the event of a furlough. No, I do not think a listing of "likely to fail" that targets specific airlines like a taunt can masquerade as a "rational discussion."
This is not a time nor place to speculate about who reading this thread is going to be out of work next as lackadaisically as if you were making a sports bet.
