I’m suspect of any furlough mitigation strategy proffered by the company based on past actions.
Vote smart
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).
