I am aware that they ask if you are willing to do it during the application process, and it is also part of the "Pilot Agreement" that you sign and turn in at the interview... but... come class date, is there any enforcement or verification?

Anyone with first-hand experience who wants to chime in, please do so.

Oh and I'm looking for some detailed information if anyone has it.. not just Yes they do, or No they don't.

Thanks!

Yes. About 3 or 4 days prior to class I received an e-mail from Mesaba HR with a surrender seniority letter as an attachment. It had blanks for you to fill in your name, company, and HR contacts at your current company. You had to respond to the e-mail saying that you understand, and on the first day of class they collect the completed form within the first 5-10 min. They are serious! What airline are you comming from that you would want to go back to? I e-mailed my union rep and he said that my company would more then likely disreguard these leters, as they did after their 9/11 furlough.
