To clarify even more. Up to 10 years, you can choose to come back or not (so long as there is hiring going on), because of the merger they added 4 more years. However if you get recall in the '4 more years' part, there is no more choice. You accept recall when called, or resign on the spot.
That's the way the letter reads anyway.
Many of our pilots are trying to stay in the Military until they have their 20 years in and the military pension and medical for life. Many would also come back to a Captain seat. I know several in this situation. They are however sweating bullets that Delta will enforce the 5 years max military leave provision in URESSA. Many of our 00 and 01 hires fall into this area. Most should be seeing their 20 years in 11 or 12. Not sure many in that status can make it back this fall and have the 20.
