The real story........Furloughed NWA guys will get first crack at Comapss (be aware NWA went through 140 recall notices to fill a class of 25 for Oct training). Furloughed NWA pilots will start out for pay purposes as a 2nd yr Capt. F/O's 4th yr f/o pay. Still have approx 650 on furlough, many not coming back (dont blame them). If you are a new hire to NWa (I.E. - Compass and not a furloughee), you get stuck with a 12 month training contract where you cant leave or you pay NWA $12k. Dont think that has ever held up in court though.
