My company actually released a FCIF asking military pilots who could leave to do so to help mitigate a furlough? Do you feel that companies were scamming the system too?
What about when companies furloughed pilots and they went on orders to pay the bills? Do they "owe" the company a return at first notice?
Companies have also benefited from their employee's military service and by being part of the CRAF. They just don't like not having control.
Krudawg, sorry for how you were treated upon your return! Thank you for your service!
