Tristar is right. Just for a moment ask yourself if you were management and you were cancelling flights what would you do? Hire more pilots. the fact is that if you get a rep with (in the case Delta) as the company that can't attract enough pilots then you get your contract cancelled (think mesa). The only obligation management has is to be honest on the interview....something to the effect that their is a possibility of temporary furlough in the fall with call backs around Christmas.
Guys, the industry is in the crapper (again!) and the last job any of us would want to have is being in charge of staffing at a regional carrier when the legacy carrier is so cut throat.
just my .02 worth.
