I hope you're right, but I don't think so. Remember, all furloughed United pilots at CAL are simply new hires getting a new CBA. Their previous longevity at United counts for nothing until recall. However, they did allow United pilots who were still on probation to carry over their previous time to minimize their time at CAL on 1st yr pay. That was a new agreement reached after the fact. Maybe that's a case for the other furloughed United pilots to carry over their longevity onto the new payscale without being recalled.
