All other bases, you will be on reserve for a while - some longer than others. As a MIA or LGA 737 pilot, it may not be too long since that's where most recallees go to. But if you get, say MIA or LGA 767, it's gonna be a much longer time since that's a much more senior bid status.
In any case, welcome back... things are really starting to move here, and no end in sight.
So at what point will they "flip the switch" and allow resumes and apps? If things really are moving there fast it has to be soon, as they need time to open the window, build up the applications, train the interviewees, block the sim time (if there is a sim ride in the interview), interview and offer class dates (With the obligatory two week notice to give to your current company).
Basically, they aren't going to wait until every furloughed guy/girl is back before they amp things up. Are they?
