It's not in anyone's best interest to see them leave unless you just LIKE being junior manned...
We'd be screwed. I just had a flight cancel due to no FO's in MSP. The "junior" guys don't have much to complain about. The most senior XJ furlough is still junior to our most junior guy on 7/1/10 (when we hadn't hired since 08). The ONLY people the furloughs are senior to is new hires from July 2010 to now, which doesn't leave much of an argument for em. It may be harsh to say that, but that's the seniority system.
