Don't see it happening! Precedent suggests that furloughed pilots will be placed after active pilots. I think career expectations will trump longevity in this situation.
In a shrinking airline what you're suggesting may have furloughed pilots returning and displacing active pilots to the furlough list.
Ain't gonna happen!
