Here is how it was explained to me. I would love to see the letter and a link would be great. Under 30 days of mil leave you're fine, over 30 days and technically you're not a employee of the airline. You now work for the government. Your health care stops and you should actually be required to turn in your airline I'd. Everything shifts to the government at that point. I know in practice at all but one airline I am aware of that does not happen however TSA is cracking down on ID's.
Again a link to the letter would be great. Would be nice to carry a copy if you are correct.
