I wasn't aware they chose to leave XO in the first place.
My point is this: When a company has a down turn and needs to reduce staff, they usually furlough with recall implied or expressly granted. Correct me if I'm wrong, but these pilots were outright fired.
As I said in a closed thread on this topic, a good company would offer LOAs, voluntary furloughs, job share, recall rights. This didn't happen, just a lump of coal in the stocking for the unlucky.
I know a few there that love the job and say great things about the operation. Unfortunately, the management nuked their image as a caring company by doing this.
