Adam,
I've considered this and cannot understand how any furloughees could expect to be anywhere but the bottom of the list (stapled below all active pilots). This is not meant maliciously or without respect. I was furloughed from my last airline and understand the hardships that it means. However, furlough means laid off. How could a person who is not employed with United REASONABLY expect to be placed above a person that is currently employed? We could argue career expectations, number of wide bodies, financial health of both companies, etc. all day. The bottom line is a furloughed pilots is no different than Joe Pilot from Express. They both are NOT employed by United.
Regardless, there is nothing that you or I or anyone else could argue on this forum that would alter the outcome of the SLI. It simply doesn't make any sense to me that the answer to your question is not obvious. Good luck and hopefully in the end we are all Captains a lot sooner than we all expected!
