This way, the real new guys still "pay their dues," but no one has to pay them 2, 3, or even 4 times just because of a furlough. You still lose your seniority and everything else, but you'd skip the crappy year 1 pay.

I think that this is a fair intermediate between what we have now, and a master seniority list.
