If there are pilots below me who get CVG because of DTW going senior, what happens to me when I come back and want CVG and now can't get it? Also, does it matter that I was CVG based when furloughed? I know I could possibly go hunt for the answer but if there's someone out there who knows off the top of their heads that'd be grrrreeeaaat.
Let's clear this up...
You have a seniority number just like everyone else, you are just a number to the company like everyone else.
Everyone getting recalled (except VOLUNTARY furloughs) will be recalled to JFK.
If someone junior to you decides to go back in June, that does not make him senior to you! He will still be below you.
Now, the vacancy bid that is suppose to come out around June 14th, which apparently will include DTW and a few CVG slots will be open to ALL PILOTS and everyone will be able to bid! So, if you really want CVG, update your standing bid to reflect your preferences.
If you cannot hold CVG you'll obviously go to DTW for the time being, until a vacancy bid will be published again for CVG.
If you have specific questions you should probably contact RP at Crew Forecasting and Planning!
