Default resigning seniority

As a soon to be furloughed pilot, how should one handle the question if resigning seniority is a requirement at a new airline. I am not totally happy with the company that is about to release me but I am not quite ready to say goodbye forever. Does anyone have any experience with this? Is there a way to get around this?

I considered sending my furlough-ing company a certified letter saying that they should consider any resignation of seniority "under duress," and therefore invalid. Anyone got a lawyer hat they can put on?

That might give you a leg to stand on, but if it's that important to you talk to a real lawyer in the labor law field.

I sent ALPA legal an email yesterday. If I don't get a reply, I'll call soon.

This is a significant concern, because my last job was perfect. And, most likely, my replacement flying job is going to be back in the regionals.

Hey Guys,

Just wondering how this came along? Did you get where you wanted or is furlough still impending?
