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.
Last time I checked, the blended rate was very low due to the storage of the 767-400.
