Unless this changed in the TA, this is incorrect. LCAL post-9/11 furloughees received no longevity credit unless they took a voluntary LOA instead of the furlough. Even those who were furloughed to jobs at ExpressJet returned to LCAL with zero longevity credit. Thus, someone who took a LOA and flew for JetBlue for 5 years came back to LCAL on a 5 year payscale, while someone who took the ExpressJet flowdown returned to year zero pay rates.
