As far as whether the senior pilots will lose sleep knowing that younger pilots with families and less savings are hitting the streets; fat chance.
I just saw our self-appointed 'point-man' for CAL to bring about age 65 legislation/bribery to fruition at our layover hotel at CDG. He was livin' and lovin' life with no qualms about his 60+ year old ass keeping his job while potentially 500 of our junior and most financially insecure pilots hit the streets for an apparently projected 5 years (our colas are potentially extended to 2013).
I flew with the man and he personally told me how just 3 more years of flying would allow him to payoff his second home situated on Lake Tahoe. I just shook my head and told him how self-absorbed he and his cohorts were. That ended our conversing for the next 3 days.
So to think, as the original post rhetorically asked, if senior pilots will have a conscience issue over junior pilots furlough, forget about it.
This business is for self-absorbed, licentious nihilist. After what I have observed over the last 5 years between AA, Delta (via Comair), and now with CAL I can truly say I am utterly ashamed to be associated with this motley endeavor.
