Why would they keep you when they could let you go after 5 years and hire more qualified pilots to take your place at 1st year pay?
It's a horrible thought and it makes me want to vomit, but would you put it past them?
Or do furloughs not build seniority?
seniority yes. pay no. when i return i have a feb DOH and was furloughed in OCT. i would have to work 4 months before i would go to next year pay rate. so if, for example, i were in that january recall class i would have to work untill May to get a raise. That date when then be my new "DOH" for pay each year. My original DOH only factors into non-rev flying and jump seating.
