Hmm so a pilot's biggest fear is furlough, and being laid off. This makes the company constantly use this as a weapon to get concessions and scare the pilots into giving it up. Results in a work group that doesn't trust their company right?

So I know other people in other careers that have good jobs, trust their company and make good money. If their company lets them go then they don't have to go to the bottom of some other company's seniority list. Instead, they go out and get another job that pays the same or maybe more right from the get go.

Would a national seniority list prevent this? I would think it would prevent the whipsawing that goes on? Yes, no?
