there is at least one legacy carrier that has it in their contract that resignation letters when furloughed will be disregarded (aka filed in the trash).

Quite a few in the last year have been terminated for...I will be polite and say “behavioral problems”. Psychos please do not apply. You are expected to act and fly like a professional. Anything less will not be tolerated by your fellow airmen.

Not saying it won't happen ever but having been ejected out of the 121 world in 2008 I saw it happen first hand. And that wasn't nearly as bad as what we're seeing today.

I'm on the below bottom end of the totem pole at my regional. Off of OE and consolidated but not much more time than that. If/when the hammer drops on me I'll be sending a resume over with my fingers crossed.

My point was that it may not be worth coming here if you hold a seniority number someplace nice. You can certainly come over on furlough, but there are risks to consider.
