I've run across some mil guys who came back within the past year. Technically, I have to assume they weren't furlough bypass, but if not, what was their classification? Maybe it was an inaccurate take on my part, but I remember one guy who was on his 737 OE who said he had been flying a recon blimp (from the ground) and hadn't flown in some time (+7 years?). Maybe he was above the cut line for furlough. So my question is: were some of the mil guys who have been gone since 2001 been offered the opportunity to come back in 2007/08 and 2010, but passed it up and thus are in this group of 200? If so, how long were/are they allowed to stay in that status--do they have to come back this time around or be cut from the furlough ranks? If the answer is 10 years, how were they able to stay on furlough status after 10 years from 2001? When did furloughing last take place?
