I think another wise thing to do is sign up for the union message board. You will have furlough access and when recalls are announced several people post so you can look at the seniority list and you will know when it is your turn. Also make sure your contact info is current with the union because as soon as they find out about recalls they contact the recalled pilot as well to advise them of their rights and options.
I will try and get back into the Union message boards. It has been awhile. I understand that the Company "agreed" to send out emails although it is not official per the CBA. I just wanted to see if they were in fact doing it by asking you guys. I also made sure my contact info was up to date with the union and Labor Relations prior to deploying.
Take care.
