What if we struck?! Do older pilots get special protections because they have 2 ex-wives and a disabled kid? It sounds good on the surface, but that’s the road to scabdom

That’s rich. You equate standing firm on the contract to being a scab.
WOW, really lame shame attempt.
And I certainly didn’t say anyone NEEDED anything., Sounds like you are implying it though for yourself, to save you from the furlough bus, so many have taken before you.
I understand your fear and frustration. Been there myself. Made it through it. Try to maintain some bit of dignity. You’ll get through this. We all most of us did, with some bumps and bruises. Trying to shame your colleagues into giving concessions won’t help you in the long run.
