Supposedly company dislikes current RSV system as well and changes are coming. I've heard claims of some specifics from a couple of sources involving making it more attractive for senior pilots, especially those who don't commute.
As far as LOS for furloughees, not sure how high up the list that one is. My understanding is that scope is the #1 priority with pay #2, with complicated and extensive scheduling issues almost complete. I'd doubt the APA would get a fair deal on all the above and hold up the show for furloughee benefits, at least in full, but who knows ?
The only certainty IMO, is that there will be compromise in probably every contractual section, but to what degree, we'll have to see. Also in question is Eagle's supposed award of 824 new-hire slots on a 50% basis after the present furloughee first offer is complete and the 250 Eagle flowthroughs with bottom AA numbers is run through (flow not mandatory for them).
It seems most of the recent recallee's are going to STL (SLT) S-80, but I'm sure as each class materializes, they'll start scattering to other statuses (EQP/Domicile). Right now, everything's a slow crawl, but at least it's forward in direction.
