Or maybe paying COBRA benefits to our furloughed pilots for 5+ years?

I know you are probably young, but you need to wise up. NWALPA has been a model (as has DALPA) in looking out for their more junior pilots. When you don't see that, and then whine that nobody's looking out for you, it is both ignorant and ungrateful. I'm still glad we're doing it because I think most junior NWA pilots understand what has been done and is continuing to be done.
