Last time many of us went back because we were forced to or quit. Some left really good jobs just to get furloughed again a few months later. It's just my impression many will sit it out and wait to see what the contract is before they risk a third furlough?
I don't what the final numbers were for the first recall, but I know that most of the folks around my seniority level (6/2000) disappeared for good from the list when all was said and done. I guess after 4+ years on the first furlough, most of the smart ones found better jobs...
