I'm guessing the pilots are not the ones likely to be in financial trouble and unable to find new work.
I’d probably say the opposite. Plenty already lost their jobs when virgin tanked, now they’re unemployed (and haven’t been paid for their last month) with zero chance of getting a base in their home city and searching for jobs that have an extremely long and arduous recruitment process.
The cabin crew, ground staff etc can easily transition into unrelated roles immediately.
