Same thing happened the last time we furloughed. The Saab FO's were being called daily for JM's right up til the day they were furloughed. I sat unused on the Avro until the last week then I got called daily on my reserve days til I was furloughed. I'm guessing it's party from guys using up their sick time since it won't be paid out. Basically use it or lose it and that helps cause a shortage.
