"We?"
ALPA was a part of the decision process?
So ALPA decided to not recall pilots when there was an option on the table to do so?
Why wouldn't you (since apparently you had a seat at the table) let guys come back in hopes that the company might not need to re-furlough him? If he was back and trained, it might have been to costly for the company to send him out again, and he might have been able to stay. If even one guy had a chance to stay, why not try?
I can't believe how cavalierly you state that "you" made a decision to leave guys on the street when "you" could have brought them back.
