There is not an airline employee alive that is not thinking "where will I be this time next year".

Just a bit of advice for those that are offering the EBA as their defence to being told your not wanted.
Management will do anything to fix their problems and set themselves up for a bigger bonus when the boom times arrive again.

As a VB employee we had an EBA that we thought was bullit proof in that it specifically said-

"Should the need for redundancy arise, it shall be implemented on a last -on-first-off basis if no other agreement can be reached between the parties"

That unfortunately was not enough to protect mid ranking 737 First Officers who were at more risk than Embraer FO that had still yet to start their training.

I KID YOU NOT!

So if your EBA does have a LOFO policy you will have to fight for it.

Good luck.
