What I am trying to understand is how desperately I should be trying to retain my recall rights while simultaneously trying to get hired on elsewhere, because, as I understand it, most job offers elsewhere are usually conditional upon giving up recall rights at your previous carrier.. Now I also understand that the value of having recall rights varies wildly depending if it's someone like Frontier vs. a legacy with better prospects and continued growth.
Frankly speaking; if any airline offers you a job when on furlough, you take it if it means resigning your recall rights. And yes, as explained to me by the NC, there really isn’t a likely scenario where someone comes in, wants NKs leased planes, the lease holder (bank) says ok, and the pilots go with it. Most likely the planes for back to the bank and then overseas. It’s why they haven’t proceeded with any scope fragmentation additions in these furlough MOUs, it isn’t worth the paper it’s written on.
