The second question is an unknown. I've asked Ted the furlough coordinator and he did not have an answer to that question. I doubt it happens, but the best outcome for us would be longevity credit for furlough time. I don't see the negotiators giving up anything to achieve that. The second best outcome would be to add the time in service at CAL to whatever time in service you have at UAL for pay purposes. Worst case is you return to where you left off at UAL (assuming your time at CAL is less than your time at UAL).
"Ted"?

I spoke with TODD about my situation.
Also, this is NOT a "recall". It's good news for those who need a job though!!!
As far as the seniority, re-furloughed thing, I wouldn't say definitely "NO". I thought of the same situation.
