This is a huge, industry wide misconception. Longevity is based on years of service.
If you were on first year pay and then were furloughed for Five years..... You return to work once recalled and pick up where you left off on first year pay.... waiting for second year pay.
Incorrect.
Depends on your contract. After 9-11 at DAL, if you left on year one pay and came back 5 years later, you came back on 6 year pay (vacation as well for that matter).
If you bypassed a recall, then your longevity stopped accruing, but otherwise it did not.
