To imply that a new hire can somehow jump ahead of a furloughee on the ISL is assinine. Many furloughees are going to pass on the CAL job. For some, they prefer not to work for a company whose work rules mirror those of Mesa Airlines. Declining the CAL position has nothing to do with recall rights or their place on the list. Some of our furloughees have a DOH of 1985. Are they too in danger of being placed on the list below new hires?
Here ya go....All L-UAL furloughees will be given DOH on the ISL.
See how easy it is to state an assinine, baseless "fact". This statement is no more or less senseless than your's.

Are UAL furloughees require to "resign" their seniority number if they go to work for another (better) airline? Good friend of mine was furloughed from UAL (after being furloughed from USAir) and eventually got on at SWA. Said he had to resign his number, but it may have been more of a SWA requirement. That or he just wants to make sure he never comes back to UAL. Either way, I didn't think that was binding.
