How are the Captains taking the news? (either their impending furlough or downgrade) It always seems that the FO's take it in the shorts, but in this situation it is even the senior Captains.

Has anyone flown with a super senior Captain that will be downgrading to FO? I would never have imagined a mid 1990's Captain ever having to fly SIC at Comair again!!

I had a Captain ask me once, "why do you want to upgrade? Where are you gonna go?" This was of course back in '04-'05 when no one was hiring. My response besides the blank astonished look, was "How about getting off Ramen noodles and not having to sit next to douches like yourself who had to spend maybe 10 minutes of their career here as an FO before your 2 day upgrade" I wonder how that guy will take being an FO?
