No, All recalls are by seniority order only, nothing to do with voluntary/involuntary. The benefit is that you control your own life. If you don't get furloughed but your at the bottom of the list you might end up commuting to another base to sit reserve... some people would rather be furloughed than do this.


On another note... as I was reading about our furloughs the following add popped up next to the thread... how can this type of advertising possibly be legal??



It went on to state that you could go from 0 to airline pilot in only 6 months and that the program was only $43K... and a few other "facts" I can't remember.

Just thought some of you could use a good laugh!
