Exactly. That Aug '99 LUAL pilot may have 8 years active service and 13 years longevity, but they're still furloughed, and if they were recalled tomorrow they'd be a junior-junior 'Bus FO on their 13 year payscale. OTOH, the average Aug '99 LCAL hire is a 756 Captain, even if they're on a 11 year payscale.
I know which one I'd rather be.
