Which is year 1 pay, when you get recalled. Just because he wants to be at NK rather than a Delta, United or American, doesn't means he made a bad choice. His choice may not match yours.
IIRC from talking to a DL guy who was furloughed after 9/11 and then called back (again IIRC), he did go back to 5th year pay. Maybe some DL guy can chime in. Might have been a one time thing. Or could be a contractual thing where a furlough retains seniority indefinitely and longevity for (insert time frame) amount of time.

NO, what's getting tiresome is listening to guys like you who came here after the top 460 of us laid our career on the line for improvements (June 2010 Strike for those of you who think this company will give you anything) act like what you have is due to a benevolent management team.

You have what you have because 460 pilots walked out. You're reaping the rewards of my sacrifice. Stop being so dam*&^ed cocky about what you have Lobo.

I repeat

Spirit wants you to stay during training and NOT go home for the complete 6 (7 weeks for some) week foot print. They don't give you non-rev for 90 days? You can't get home because they keep you out of CASS too!! Don't ask about O.E. We had guys get 2 days off then right into O.E. Guys were ****ed off.
I know what you're saying, it's not great being away from my wife and kids for that long. However, from the time I started class, to the day I got signed off for OE. It was 2 months and 2 days. I would rather have it compress and get it all done with, than drag it out and have 2-3 days off here and there.

A friend of mine started as TWA, got furloughed after he became American. Spent a number of years out then was recalled at his longevity pay rate, which at that point was around year 10.

Seniority yes, so if you bypass a recall, and the company hired off the street, they go below you. Same with military leave. If you take 2 yeas off mil leave, you keep your seniority but don't jump up 2 more year on pay scale when you come back. This is my understanding, but doesn't mean its correct.

Recalled back at 3rd year pay at a legacy still a better long run option.
Nobody asked you.

This is not correct. There is an ACY CA I talked with not too long ago who was TWA and furloughed. He goes back to 2nd or 3rd year pay (whatever year he was furloughed) also confirmed by an instructor in the same spot

If you were laid off, a lot of times the union and the company negotiated to give the furloughed guys accrued pay longevity when they came back, like UAL and DL in recent memory. AA I think only got their furloughees a fees years I believe. Not contractual, but typically negotiated after the fact.

I think he meant his friend was furloughed when his longevity pay was at year 10. When he/she came back, he resumed at year 10.
