But, I expect (and believe it's right) that the United Pilots on a Vol Furlough will NOT be stapled and will be treated as if they never left.
Under the TPA, no pilot from either list can be advanced or displaced by accepting a position on the other sides list.. so, if a VolFur (from LUAL) is on the CAL Side, how could they lose positions from their own list?
If (hypothetically speaking) the no 1 guy at LUAL took a Voluntary Furlough, are they not still no 1 on their list?
Maybe a LUAL guy (or gal) can post how many took Vol Fur.. it would seem to me that they will (and should) be treated as being on property all along.. especially now that LUAL is (finally) recalling~
Again, just my opinion [which really doesn't mean ****]!

I think you are right Motch. I think the volunteer furloughs will not get stapled. We had volunteer LOA guys also. I don't know how many that is. Somebody stayed on property because of the volunteer though. That number, whatever it is, will be towards the bottom of the list IMO. I look forward to flying with you all!
