Not only were all of the post 9/11 furloughs still on probation offered recall, but were also given longevity credit for time spent on furlough. Thus a 2001 hire returned from furlough at 7th year pay.
What Deez said. The furlough plug hadn't even finished IOE when he was shown the door. Yet he got all the contractual rights every other pilot got, plus the fact that EVERY pilot at DAL knows his name and every furloughee knows exactly how many numbers they are from him.
