the Republic Pilot's contract states that you would retain your flight benefits for 6 months following furlough. when i was furloughed last sept. we were told that we would have benefits on USAir flights operated by Republic for 90 days.
at least the pr!ck is consistent. i'll give you 1 guess what the union's response to what seems to me like a pretty cut and dry section of the contract.
i hope for all furloughs, from all affected parties, that you find gainful employment elsewhere and do not have to return to that place.
