Why should the airline keep you employed when there simply is not the flying available? If I own store and I have to lay off employees for lack of business, should that prevent me from purchasing the store next to mine to better my store as a whole?
I don't know if thats the best analogy, but hope you get my drift. I'm furloughed too, so I understand that the flying simply is not there to keep my employed. If my regional decided to go buy another airline, I won't get mad that thats money they could be paying me.
