Many years ago, the company I worked for had a surplus of pilots but had the good sense to see that it might just be a short term problem. Their suggestion to us was to job share. Two pilots agreed to work alternate months.
The up side was that we kept our jobs, albeit on a reduced basic salary. The upside for the company was that two pilots working to the limits of FDT produced 1200 hours a year, rather than the then limit of 1000. Those 200 hours more than made up for the extra simulator ride. Indeed, when the good times came around a year or so later, we, and the company, agreed to stay working part time as it suited us all admirably.
Some of you senior pilots in VA might like to consider this. The economics of such a deal really do make it viable for all concerned.
My months off were spent running a sail charter boat in the Med.
Nice work if you can get it!
