Very difficult issue.
Sadly when one needs to work and pay the bills there are not too many options that one can afford to decline.
Are there any flight deck positions being offerred by any of the pilot unions? Do any of the pilot unions actually hire pilots? I have always been under the impression that one needs to apply with the people representing the airline, not the people representing the pilots.
So it might be best if we pilots take a more realistic view of things and not but the burden on unemployed pilots to champion the cause of pilots already employed. I do not think that any of the people who have accepted positions are really the cause of the issues at hand. The focus needs to be on how one can effect change in a way that will work. Does not appear that this course of action is getting the desired results.
Perhaps there is a better way to deal with this issue. I am certain that in time cooler heads will prevail. A battle is more decisively won if the forces are unified.
Best of luck to all of you guys.
