Us furloughees actually get on WO flights before other active DCI employees when travelling on a WO carrier.

For example: I was trying to get on a Compass flight. My priority was S3B. Another Pinnacle pilot trying to get home on my flight and was S3C. We both got seats but I sure didn't think it was right that a commuting pilot was behind me as a furloughee.

On DL mainline flights, all their retirees/parents get on before any active DCI employee. They always travel as S3B. WO travel as S3C on mainline. WO retirees/parents/furloughs travel as S3CR.

I must say that since we can fly former NW flights, non-revving has been a breeze. I avoid ATL like the plague and easily get flights through DTW, MSP, and even MEM. Of course summer is right around the corner, but it sure is nice to have 3 more hubs to choose from now.
