There are places and times to complain about the wages we make, this is not a time.

Yes, and those 22,000 people that lost their jobs will probably find new jobs doing similar work for less money and benefits. Every pilot at a regional (and many at majors) have a right to complain and voice their opinion. If they sit back and take it while times are tough they are opening themselves up to concessions. As a CAL pilot I can assure you that it will take a long time to make-up these concessions after the economy turns.
Your job (career) is not a gift, it's something that you earned. Protect it as best you can.
