This is just one more contract violation:
"4. A pilot on furlough will be granted on-line and interline passes to the same extent as an active pilot for the first thirty (30) days of such furlough." Pg. 17-3
Call the union and let them know. Not that there is much they can do about it, but I do recall that they sent an email asking anyone to let them know if this happens.

Sent from MP 10/12:
In regards to Contractual Obligations the following are current issues in which I need your help.
1. Section 17.A.4 of our working agreement
“A pilot on furlough will be granted on-line and interline passes to the same extent as an active pilot for the first thirty (30) days of such furlough.”
Currently it seems as all 10/05 furloughed pilots and some 11/05 furloughees have had pass benefits changed to the extended plan already. If you have been affected by this please send me an email with the following information even if you have not paid a yield fare yet but believe your benefits have already changed.
Subject Line: PASS BENEFIT CHANGES
Information to Include: NAME, EMPLOYEE NUMBER, DATES OF TRAVEL, ANY YIELD FARE CHARGES PAID
