Well said T-
Maybe in addition, there should be a hard cap of flying (say 75 hrs) that absolutely can not be violated with guys on furlough with an enforceable repercussion--pay each furloughee $1000 for every hour flown above 75 by any pilot (cumulative for every pilot company wide). This would force the company to keep individual pilot's greed in check.
