You got to be kidding. If you're laid off, then you don't work here. All benefits and movement stops while you're gone. You shouldn't move up through the payscale while you're not active. Sorry about your luck, but laid off is laid off.
Well it might not quite be industry standard but it is pretty close:
DAL guys had full LOS for all furloughees prior to the merger.
NW guys got full LOS for all furloughees during the merger
UCAL guys don't quite get full LOS but have some formula to give them up to something like 5 years LOS maximum. Perhaps a UCAL can more accurately describe their situation.
I don't think it is necessarily right or wrong to go with full LOS, but it is not that outrageous to ask for it based on industry parity.
