Being CR’d means you’re no longer an employee and you’re no longer with the group. The company has no responsibility for you and won’t look after your welfare. Yes, you are first to be hired when it picks up but that means having HR approve more recruitment which may not happen for a while. Any pilot getting made CR would only pick up a few weeks pay anyway.
Better to be on the inside looking out than vice versa. As the most junior are 330 and 787 SOs they’ll be the first back once international flying resumes if the remain within the system, if they’re on the outside looking in it may be a long time.

That was addressed recently. LH and SH are separate. CR would only affect LH pilots as that is where the surplus is.
