I wouldn’t envy the position that puts them in. If that’s the position of the most senior furloughed pilot (s)he’ll likely be considered pretty infamous among a lot of pilots. I’m not saying they shouldn’t bid what’s best for them, but there will be some who will blame that person for them getting furloughed instead of having a chance at a half month cola.
