Okay, yes. Others might decide to get other jobs as a source of income. Nothing is 100% ever.
However, I think your terminology may be incorrect. They are not fired, laid off, booted, given the axe, nixed, ended their contract(s), etc. They are simply put in a "furlough situation," like unpaid vacation time. They are still active employees of the company, just not being paid. (You do not have to be paid to be considered an employee) Again, they are not working, so they just aren't getting paid while they don't work. It is not as if Baltia isn't paying them out of spite. They just don't have as much work or duties for them to perform at this time, which is why some aren't working or some have reduced hours. They have not separated or have severed ties with the company.
The employees can decide to get other jobs in the meantime, whatever they may be. But for a fact, Baltia let them know of the situation and that they will be brought back on when they are needed. They more likely than not were given a relative time table of a return to full time work, but that obviously would not be disclosed to the public.
Regarding the pilots, I believe that to be simple hearsay. That can be said about any employee out there in this situation, in the field they work in. But if you are talking about the Baltia pilots, I think it's safe to say they are not a part of this "time off" situation. They are still fully hired by the airline without a doubt. The pilots aren't even a thought in this situation.
