I took a 6 month leave to take another flying job when they were going to furlough in '03. No questions asked. Cobra insurance was supposed to run about $250 a month but when I got the bill it was only around 60. Just a call to HR when I was ready to come back was all they asked. Within 2 weeks of calling I was requalled and back on the payroll. Senority was protected but longevity pushed 6 months. I was great to take a break from Brown.
