What don't you rocket surgeons and brain scientists get? If those of us getting recalled bypassed, you'd probably move up a number anyways as we wouldn't be accruing longevity. I've said it here before and I'll say it again, we're our own worst enemy.
While I will stay out of the debate on bypass... I just would like to point out that these gentlemen you are speaking of would not "move up" a number. While you wouldn't be accruing longevity you would still be accruing seniority. Therefore, when you come back you will still get to upgrade first and you will get your choice of schedule first. You will still be senior. The catch is the guys below you on the list might be getting paid more than you.
So, not sure if you misspoke or just don't know what the situation is.
