First Furloughing the MIL leave guys is Illegal and they know it.
Second, out of senority furlogh is doubtful unless they reduce the 8 and the fe's have no place to go, Ie no medical, no chance to upgrade etc. It's coming, so much for coming here for the stabilty if it occurs. The contract addresses very little as far as furlough and recall, bypass etc. I think they never thought it was an issue. And lets say they do other LOA, really how many will take it. Those with military guard or reserve jobs that are at the bottom might, to take a full time job, but besides that there to much money to be lost when you compare Major or LtCol pay to 3 year plus, espically if no pilot bonus is included.
