Wow. That sucks. Let me see if I get this straight.
You were hired 5 years ago, got furloughed (I'm assuming from the ERJ side?). Got recalled to the CRJ side but didn't take the switch back to the ERJ side when the recall was offered (because you didn't know at the time all the hiring that was going to hot the ERJ side?).
And are still on reserve whereas on the ERJ side you'd be a lineholder with weekends off. Man, that is one string of bad luck.
I thought the PBS over there was strictly seniority based? How can someone junior to you have a line with you on reserve? The more I hear about the super-PBS the more I don't want anything to do with it.
