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.
I'll have to second this Alfa....
Seeing as the staffing was short for the summer to begin with and hiring was planned to start this late fall, any recall pilots could surely have not been re-furloughed. You'd be talking about furloughing less than 3 months.
