Nikle. : In short. many airlines still do take DEC's, just look around... maybe not the ones YOU wish for do it but you can't be choosy, until you have considerable experience/flying hours backing you.
Companies kill internal morale by doing so and in turn distance themselves further from their key workforce. It is also a very poor reflection on that airline's management, for failure of planning future training and neglect of forward outlook... ie their finger isn't on the pulse! That's their job!
In the meantime, enjoy what's out there as jobs are on the move again!
