It depends on the conditions established when the furloughs happen. You should know this, but I'm not surprised.
It depends on the CBA. Ask a pilot furloughed from UAL in 2001 what his pay rate was when he was recalled in 2007. Do you think he went to 6th year pay rate?
Conversely, ask a furloughed DAL pilot what pay rate he went to when recalled. That is assuming he didn't bypass due to language in the DAL CBA.
Sorry to break it to YOU, YOU should know this, but I'm not surprised you don't.
For somebody like you and your lack of airline pilot experience to lecture me on the ins and outs of furloughs is pretty laughable.
