From what I have heard the furlough was originaly expected to last for 4 months but now it is expected to last 6-9 months. ( I was not told if these numbers were till the first recall or till all the recalls are over) I would say wait until we get through Thanksgiving and then let the company evaluate if they have enough guys to make it all the way through the holidays. Good luck to all the other 78 guys I know it has not been fun for me so far.
