Your “...very limited employment options...” being very understated.

I might bet on the union fighting to let them sell tickets or throw baggage. But then, keep in mind that the pilots union (ALPA) is in place to represent/fight for airline pilots. Neither of these guys are airline pilots anymore. Not sure how they would see it. And the airline certainly no longer has to keep them.

If the captain is really lucky, he might be allowed to assist in simulator training.
I wouldn’t bet on that one though.

In this economy. These guys are screwed.
That I would bet on.
