I'll start by apologizing to those that don't have the choice. Having been furloughed twice I understand the stress. I don't mean my question to be insensitive. But, for a 20 year type that went through the displacement down to a NB FO out of LAX, and planning on taking the voluntary furlough for family business, if offered (given uncertainty of a furlough), will it make any pay difference for that furlough pay to bid to the 763 out of EWR on the current bid instead of camping out in LAX? If I remember right when recall hits you get recalled back to your old seat if you can hold it. The way I see it is the blended rate for the 75/76 kicks in so it looks like a few extra bucks an hour. Again, sorry for the folks going through the prefurlough worries now. Plus who knows what the UAL fleet will look like in the future.
