I don't think you get it both ways. If you view someone as "scum" for picking up OT while there are still pilots sidelined, it is logically inconsistent to view someone who is ok with furloughs so long as they get their guarantee as anything other than scum. Or vice versa.
Personally, I'm happy to accept a temporary (i.e. reviewed-each-month) reduced monthly guarantee if it helps keep someone around longer.
