I gotta say it again for you, Lee, so everybody over at CAL (and the rest of the pilots lurking on this board) completely understands: UAL furloughees are NOT getting longevity pay. If/when we get hired back, we get hired back at our previous pay rates based on "employed time" with the company. It both sucks and blows. Just a cruel slap in the face of all present 1437 UAL furloughees.
I'm going to go so far as to say NO pilot group has taken it so far up the sphincter as the present UAL double furloughees. NO ONE.
Did I mention how hard it sucks?

You may want to look at some furloughed TWA
CAPTAINS and/or some MidEx guys, and/or some ABX guys and re-evaluate. Hyperbole is counterproductive. No question you guys have been constantly getting hosed for 10 years now. The difference is that there is at least a small glimmer of a possible future.
