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.

Regardless, I agree. Furloughed from a good company is better than dead man walking at Comair.
