Based on my original post did you read it? Did you see it says it depends on what is negotiated? You've apparently agreed to that so taking a low blow to me for typing it then turning around and supporting it is confusing.
My point was you still don't get a paycheck. I don't care how you slice it not getting paid is not getting paid. A furloughed pilot maintains his seniority and can still maintain his seniority accrual. So if you were a 3yr FO when furloughed and are gone for a year then when you come back you could be paid at 4th year status.
It depends on the conditions established when the furloughs happen.
Then you say "If only I had a clue" then respond with
Thank you for proving my point. It DEPENDS on the CBA.
Hrmmmmmm. I'm wondering what your point was. I never said I knew what XJTs furlough agreement was. All I said is what's so different between your COLA and a furlough. I event put a "?" mark by it indicating it was a question. So before you go off on some random tangent where you work your way off to a different topic why not just answer the question? How is your COLA different than a furlough? Benefits and apparently you don't get accrual. Question answered. Some offer accrual like AA so it was a reasonable question. So sensitive.
