My sympathies to those affected by this. This happens in the corporate world where the people you fly for week after week cut you loose as they go off to Aspen/St. Kitts, etc. So many regional CA's are not quick to leave as they will go down in pay,lose seniority,their domicile to a major they feel may be unstable. May those displaced find something better.

Quitting = no unemployment check
Furlough = unemployment check

How can one be furloughed from a company that cannot call you back?

Correction: pilots will be furloughed up until the end but after Sept 29th, I am sure that status will change

Terminated due to elimination of the employer = unemployment check.

Using every minute of any sick leave you have prior to shut down=unemployment check.

I was thinking the same thing. They are going to have fun trying to cover what flying is left when every last employee is trying to use up their sick bank before it is too late.
