I don't know if that was true or not.
It was a "jumpseat rumor"...you'll learn fast to take those with more than just a grain of salt.
PSA used to fly Dork props...they switched to all CRJs sometime between 2002-2004 I believe and accepted Jets For Jobs to gain the CRJ 200 and 700. Most if not all of the mainline furloughs are captains there and have "slotted bidding". I think they are (were?) paid off their mainline longevity. This jumpseater also said PSA is holding most of these J4J guys for 9 months, preventing them from accepting recall put paying them up to 76 hours worth of 767 FO pay.
