I applied online just now and got this response after finishing:
As part of the application process you are required to take a third party assessment which our records indicate that you have already taken.
I haven't taken ANY online assessment!! Has anyone seen this before? I haven't applied before and just to make sure looked at my email history. I created the profile a few days ago and uploaded my resume and cover letter tonight. Was my profile so bad that this canned response was automatic?

I can't recall if your profile is based on your email address or not; however I believe that it is. So perhaps you could reapply by making a new profile using a different email address. It's worth a shot.

I do not think it is quite so cut and dried as stated above. A forum such as this is a very sketchy place to get this kind of information.

As I understand it, however, as evidenced in the ABX and United examples, most airlines don't recognize "forced resignation" letters from other airlines, hence the furloughed folks were able to return. I know for a fact at my two previous airlines, if the chief pilot received a resignation letter from any pilot on furlough, it went right into the paper shredder.
