2. You are on 6th year pay. You get longevity for the years you were furloughed but not for the years you bypassed.
* hold on....if you accepted recall and then went right to ML. You are on 9 or 10 year pay...
3. You are placed where there is an open position according to your recall preferences.
4. I think this AE will pass you by but the next one will not.
5. Things have changed drastically since you left but like was said to me "Those years sucked anyway." The 73 and the Bus are a tossup. 5 day trips for commuters and a comfortable cockpit on the 320. Small veal fattening pen and nice 2-3day trips with long legs on the 73N. If you are commuting, I would say go with whatever gives you the better seniority but it's even. The 73 doesn't do PHX overnights.
There will be 24 hour short calls on the Er in SLC by the way when they get em going
He fooled me with the MLOA thing too on the longevity! I started to answer then realized he took immediate MLOA instead of bypass. Finger inserted back into nose.
As far as the 737 and PHX layovers, I've had several since I've checked out on the cramped coffin of noise. I do miss the Squaw Peak resort but openly welcome every chance at the Blue Burrito by the gates in PHX. My stomach grumbles now for a Chorizo Egg and Cheese....
