Please don’t ever run for a representative position.

As a commuter, I’ll be taking an SRL + unemployment. Almost every trip out of PHL is not commutable.

Can’t get unemployment anymore on an SRL/VLOA, unfortunately.

More senior guys, and Captains probably are not in the situation to grab an entry level job in another industry to ride out a furlough without filing bankruptcy.
Yes, there are exceptions; but in general this is a big picture fly over of the situation.
It makes sense to furlough from the bottom, rather than bankrupt the entire pilot group. It's amazing how these short term things turn into long term things with nothing for you to do but file a grievance and wait 2 years for a resolution. I'm sure nobody expected the 2-3 week - flatten the curve shutdown - back in March to extend for six more months.... but it has.
