Yes, they can. They owe him everything. They couldn't possibly bite the hand that feeds them.
This is the man who took them from "aviation university CFI" (lots of Purdue grads) and got a lot of them into the left seat of a "baby 737" in 1-2 years.
For 50% of those guys, life at RP has been gravy from day one. Until they get displaced, furloughed, and have their pay cut, they will continue to trust BB to do whatever is necessary to keep their jobs secure.
This is another such move, and I'm sure 75% of them are supportive of this decision.
