It doesn't seem right that someone should be losing their job and everyone else just goes on as if nothing happened. Whether that sacrifice is a lower guarantee, or an embargo on open time... just SOMETHING to share the pain a little bit.
My fear at this airline in particular is that there would be a furlough and the rest of the pilot group would happily fly extra to pick up the slack, negating the need for the airline to recall for even longer.

Who's pilots on furlough? SWA has never furloughed, so your point is meaningless.

How do other airlines having people on furlough effect SWA pilots workload choices?

For the slow....
Someone was yakking about SWA pilots slopping at the trough, implying they'd do the same with pilots on furlough and I (sarcastically) pointed out their history of doing just that. Such as in NEVER. 🙄
