No wonder this industry is such crap, we can't even look out for each other, we try to take advantage of one another to suit our own selfish desires.
First, I am not saying that I agree with him. But I think you misread his post.
I believe PapaMike is talking about a furloughed pilot who was offered employment at Pinnacle or Colgan, but ended up bypassing recall to go to another job somewhere else. That pilot "jumped ship," but would now be coming back with the original DOH and would be an almost instant line holder. Doesn't seem fair.
Again, I am not saying I agree with this, just saying how I read his post.
