Nitro, that would be all of about 25 pilots.
There were 2400 pilots at TWA, and speaking for myself, I did'nt apply to AA.
Just because people make lateral moves does'nt give them the right to take someone else's job, nor the right to keep working while more senior, more experienced pilots get furloughed.
Realistically, this entire career is a gamble, and noone knows how it will end up until they hit 60 (or 55 in some cases).
Noone out there is better or more entitled than another; they're just luckier.
