You can turn your back on the opportunity. This is one of the few things ALPA was able to secure. Would you have rather had newhires off the street sitting in those seats while our furloughs while away waiting on mother UAL? Maybe you could go kick your dog and make you day happier. Let the guys that want the job over what they are doing now enjoy something. I bet you are real fun guy on New Years Eve.

A recall wouldn't require this though, would it?:
"A Pilot accepting an offer under this provision will be subject to the
normal background and employment requirements of the employing Airline."
I know when you are "recalled", they have to do a background check, but what are the "employment requirements"? An "interview", a "sim check".
Some pilots were turned down (or didn't have a chance to interview) at CAL because of "background", or not meeting "employment requirements". So such a furloughed UAL pilot, may not be offered this "opportunity" at CAL...
Or am I over thinking this?
