XJT furloughed about 340 pilots in 2008. Things were pretty miserable for a couple years for those who were still there. The furloughed guys got preferential offers at other carriers, including Compass. Most of those who went to Compass and stayed are sitting in the left seat of a Delta jet currently. The difference between then and now is that ALL the carriers are equally screwed....and if the majors also furlough, competition is gonna be fierce.
