There is an ALPA bylaw that says if an ALPA pilot joins with another ALPA carrier he/she must give up her previous ALPA carrier's seniority number. In other words, you can't be on two or more ALPA seniority lists at the same time, which would be the case if you are a furloughed Delta pilot working at Endeavor. I know a lot of stupid Delta pilots, but not a one of them is that stupid.
It's not to say you can't join a crappy cargo carrier with the Teamsters on the property, you can, but they're not likely to hire you knowing you will leave to return to your better airline after just a few months. Any Delta pilot can take his skill set and Type Rating to Asia and make twice what he makes here in the USA, as too can any Endeavor pilot.
You must all keep in mind you have an incredibly valuable skill set that employers worldwide will pay for (don't ever give it away for free). Stop being afraid. Demand more, not less. The question you should be asking is why, as Front Line Employees, you not being paid MORE dollars during this National Emergency. Stop looking for an 'easy out' scenario, or some pie-in-the-sky silliness to avoid an interview. Tell your MEC to go do their job. Tell them you want more, not less.
