Around 15% of the furloughed pilots were volunteers with top 60 volunteers holding Captain seniority. 1437 were going to be furloughed, 1437 were. The voluntary program kept a few at the bottom (150) of the list from furlough. Big difference with a CAL LOA is no one comes back until recalls start. That was the danger in volunteering, you could be off the property forever (highly unlikely, but possible).
