Would make more sense to me to allow them to participate in any upcoming AE as well as the voluntary measures and then convert/train at the end of the CBL if that is required. Maybe I'm missing something.
“Note one: A pilot who has received a notice of furlough is not eligible to bid for, or be awarded, a CBL.
Note two: A pilot is not eligible to bid for, or be awarded, a CBL, if the pilot
1) has begun qualification training and is not projected to complete OE/TOE or
consolidation requirements prior to the start of the CBL, or
2) is scheduled for qualification training in the first month of the CBL.”

Makes sense to me, thanks.
