This old trope again.

If BK was the almighty power many like to fantasize it is, every airline that did it would simply have involuntarily furloughed off the top of each category list, out of seniority, to match fleet needs. Zero training. And whatever plane SKYW's heart desired would have been their's. Please.

Just make any early out require participating pilots to be kept on the seniority list. Maybe create a new category for them (NBCSIL?) if that gets thrown out in BK then they could have just furloughed them out of senority anyway since BK is a weapon of unlimited power. GMAMFB.
