With all that said... for most people, in the long run/grand scheme, it's better to be furloughed from a major than employed by a regional. Obvious exceptions for those over 50, GED and no other skills, stay-at-home spouse w/kids, etc.
It's hard enough as it is to move up, without trying to guesstimate if the economy/industry will hold up for 3-4 years after your class date.
I frankly wouldn't trade my somewhat junior number for the job security of my old regional gig.

Still, who calls first still rings true. Bird in the hand and all.

Different era, the legacies are generally too big to fail now. Anybody hired at a legacy in the last three decades is either still employed at a legacy or retired from a legacy (some will be on furlough next week).
COVID *might* still stress-test that theory, but it's an extreme black-swan, really only nuclear war or asteroid impact would be worse.

How does she get up there? Recall that for security reasons, nobody in the cabin has the physical means to enter the cockpit without flight crew approval and that includes FA's because they could be under duress.
