I was under the impression that all west furloughs have been offered recall and have either returned or deferred. He was deferring.
This is a new area for us. Previously you were stuck on one system or another, unless you had been furloughed. We'll see if things have changed.
I was told new hires are being offered PHX, but currently east pilots ie third listers cannot move west. Notice: this is 2 1/2 hand information. I say 2 1/2 because i was told by a new hire and third lister. Hence, it's second and third hand information.
