If and when he goes back he will be junior to a AWA relative new hire! My 45 year old friend will have to listen to some 30 year old AWA guy tell him he is too fast at the marker! Considering it is the USAir guys who retire in great numbers for the next few years (500/yr), he should go back to some kind of ratio when recalled. That makes sense.
DOH or age has nothing to do with this. The AWA new hire was a junior F/O before the merger, and he is a junior F/O now - no windfall. Your bud was furloughed before the merger, and he is furloughed now.
