They are only five year fences. For that reason, I think issues will be quickly resolved.

Point is be careful what you wish for.

I am always interested in ways to better our pilot group. Send me the data.
My point is that if we have figured it out so has the other side.

So only three months of flying active, then "back" but on MLOA
1. Am I still on probation when I come back, or was that waived?
2. Am I on 1st year pay when I come back, or will it be from the pay charts?
3. If I tell the company I'm avail to come back 1 Mar, will I have my choice of aircraft/base that I can hold from the seniority list, or do I get some NYC thing?
4. Is there any reason to rush-call them before the AE bid closes 28 Jan, anything I gain by trying to be "in system" before bid closes?
5. My plan was to see what I can hold after AE and bid accordingly, assuming I have my choice... What's better, SLC 73N B @63% , or SLC 320 B @ 61%? (Phx commute) Or 7ER reserve at bottom in LAX or SLC?
Take a break from the contract arguing and help an old noob out!

1. You are not on probation when you return. The furlough took care of that.
2. You'll be paid based on your seniority from your date of hire minus the MLOA I think.
3. You can go to any equipment/base your seniority can hold.
4. Hmmm, don't know. I'd let them know ASAP and get back into the system so they can start working your slot and your training. This is a relatively small AE and shouldn't really matter much in the grand scheme of things unless you were hoping for an MD88 position as they are now overmanned.
5. Two % points is nothing. Commuting to reserve, however, is. You'd be a line holder in SLC and on reserve in LAX. Much easier to commute to a line and much better QOL, IMHO.
Hope it helps. Welcome back!

I don't care what the other side has figured out really... what I care about is if they are going to be in a snowball fight with Randy Johnson... but all that is beside the point.

You don't lose longevity while on mil. I was hired in 99, was on mil for 5 years and furlough for two, and I am getting 12 year pay.
