Do furloughees gain seniority for pay purposes while on furlough? If not, I think that many of the furloughees that have gone to other carriers will not return. I thnk that most that have gone to UPS & FedEx will stay there. Likewise, many will be just about to hold Captain at LUV when they are recalled.
