This way, the real new guys still "pay their dues," but no one has to pay them 2, 3, or even 4 times just because of a furlough. You still lose your seniority and everything else, but you'd skip the crappy year 1 pay.

I think that this is a fair intermediate between what we have now, and a master seniority list.
this would probably make airlines (regional/feeder) less likely to hire people with prior 121 time. so for those furloughed from carrier A it would become harder for them to land a job at carrier B
