There won't be any commuting assistance.

At this point we only have a net loss of five aircraft. Perhaps the cuts won't be bad.

From your previous post, you have over 1500 pilots on the seniority list behind you, and you're already on the 175. That really ain't that bad.

Instead of quitting, and giving up your seniority number, take a leave of absence if you don't want to commute to somewhere else. It seems you might be based in CA. Most of this new growth should be west coast. If you are forced out to somewhere you don't want to go, take the LOA, and do something else locally.

Management will probably start offering longer LOAs by fall if they feel they have to lay anyone off. Up to a year, and extendable beyond that. There were a bunch that took them a decade ago. Some went overseas to fly, some to go to school, some to make more money at other jobs, etc..
