Basically I've been listening to too many people. Not trying to flame as I'm looking for an honest answer. Lets say out of 1400 that 700 don't come back and they start hiring off the street. What happens to the 700 that bypassed?
From the TA on furlough mitigation:
6-b. A pilot will indicate his desire to return to active service or bypass his recall within 14 days from receipt of the recall notice. If a pilot elects to be bypassed, the Company will not contact him for any subsequent recalls until he notifies the Company in writing of his desire to re-enter the recall process. Such notice must be sent to the address listed in Paragraph 6-e below. The Company will notify a pilot after receiving a letter requesting recall under the terms of this paragraph, but it is the responsibility of the pilot to confirm receipt of his notice to re-enter the recall process. Once the Company has received notice of a pilot’s intention to re-enter the recall process, he will be eligible for the next scheduled recall opportunity. In case of a lack of response for recall, the pilot will be considered as bypassing recall.
6-c. A pilot who is furloughed shall be eligible to bypass recall for a period not to exceed 10 years from his furlough date, at which time his recall rights expire in accordance with Section 7-E of the basic agreement.
So, I guess the answer to your question is 10 years from date of furlough for recall rights. Question is, will anything be changed in the JCBA. This LOA is in effect for the duration of the current CBA. Not saying any changes will happen but changes are permitted.
