If anything... they are stealing your job since you are furloughed. Food for thought...
Again, I guess I could feel that way, but I flew for the Proby side, then recieved permanent hire, flew some and got furloughed, and I will get back to that side when my number comes up. I guess I see it diferantly, Its two different jobs in my mind, so not an issue, but that doesnt mean I'm not chompin at the bit to get back to work. Now if they were using Probationary pilots to fly more than the allowed 30%, you bet that would be a differant story, with all the perm guys. And just to clarify I have been paid to use mine since the day I hit IOE.
