Unlike the early 2000s, the three pax legacies have massive retirements over the next few years which hopefully will help reduce the numbers and length of any furlough.

Caveat emptor, YMMV, etc.
I think a big component to the decision is your projected seniority. Mine is really good, although I work for the weakest carrier. If I was going to retire outside the top 2000 at a legacy, I would bail.
