They can't seriously do that can they? I was under the impression that once you pass your PC you are on the list. Obviously those guys are still on probation, but I would assume they would still hold their seniority if they were furloughed and recalled.
probation means they can axe you whenever they want for anything really.
Well, this really sucks but it is not in the least bit shocking.
All I can say is no more OT for me... 75 hours or less.
In the past month, I have probably applied for 10 different jobs and have yet to really hear anything. I'm really hoping I get called for the FAA gig, but I'm not holding my breath. I've also taken a stab at Avantair, Citation Shares, XO Jet, and various 135/91 ops.
And I have 565+ below me....

3. THOU SHALT work to rule. Run all checklists, in full, and take all the time necessary to do your job safely and thoroughly. Do not cut any corners to "get the job done".
4. THOU SHALT NOT manipulate the ACARS, TAMDAR, or manually-called times in an effort to disguise delays of any kind or to obtain on-time departures or arrivals. The times shall speak for themselves.
5. THOU SHALT support furloughed pilots in every way possible. Letters of recommendation for other jobs, suggestions for employment within or without the industry, interview prep, or any other help, financial or otherwise, that can get our brothers and sisters through this challenging time.
6. THOU SHALT NOT waive contractual provisions to the company's advantage at any time.
7. THOU SHALT vigorously enforce the contract, and immediately grieve any action which might run contrary to the letter of the CBA.
8. THOU SHALT NOT answer the telephone on days off or outside contractually-approved contact periods, nor shall you use your personal telephone for company-related communications.

Send me a PM if you want to look at 170/175 FO jobs contracting overseas.
Thump you should still be OK as well. One thing RAH doesn't want to do is F and it's not because BB loves us it's because with three different certs it would require complete retraining if they have to cross you over costing them an arm and a leg.
