It hurts CFI's like me if furloughed regional pilots decide to move laterally to other regional carriers. That assumes some carriers will begin hiring aggressively before other carriers. I'm not sure that will be the case. UAL basically said on Friday that its furloughs were mainly the result of oil. If oil retreats, they believe they could bring back employees faster. If oil is the prime driver, most carriers should return to some form of viability at the same time. I don't know if that will be the case though. I can't imagine a scenario where furloughed pilots from UAL, AirTran, and other places would affect CFI's unless the regional hired street captains.
