One could argue they are getting a fair deal. Before they were furloughed they were the bottom of the list with zero bidding power and in danger of being furloughed (so in danger that they were furloughed).

If they are placed above ALL hires post 7/1 they now re-appear into the seniority list with a job as well as increased bidding power (no longer the bottom of the list) as well as a larger network to bid across. They are also no longer in nearly as much danger of being furloughed as there are now a good amount of pilots below them.

Who knows how this will all shake out but to say anyone is sticking it to the furloughs is a bit of a stretch.
