Furlough Pay FYI
Since it appears many are about to be furloughed AFTER a seat downgrade. At least the furlough pay will be at the rate of the highest paying seat you held in the last twelve months. It seems unreal that many Captains will be looking at furlough soon!
7-G-1-a A furloughed Pilot i) who was involuntarily displaced from a higher-paying Category
than the one from which he was furloughed, and ii) whose “date of displacement” (as
defined in Section 8-E-3) from that higher-paying Category is within twelve (12) Bid Periods
of his furlough date, and iii) who actually received pay in that higher-paying Category, shall
receive furlough pay equivalent to the minimum monthly reserve flight pay guarantee based
on the last hourly rate he actually received for that higher-paying Category. If more than one
(1) involuntary displacement satisfies this provision, the highest rate applicable shall be
used. This provision shall not apply if the Pilot would receive a lesser rate than provided for
under Section 7-G-1 if the last hourly rate actually received for the higher paying Category
was at a lower longevity step than the Category from which he was furloughed (e.g., 2 year
756 First Officer rate vs. 3 year 737 First Officer rate).
