What about when companies furloughed pilots and they went on orders to pay the bills? Do they "owe" the company a return at first notice?
Companies have also benefited from their employee's military service and by being part of the CRAF. They just don't like not having control.
Krudawg, sorry for how you were treated upon your return! Thank you for your service!

I've always been in favor of military hires, it makes for a bigger seniority list, opportunities, etc. There must be some ratio, say 1.3 military hires needed for every new hire training slot. Crew planning needs warm bodies to feed the crew sked beast (reserve), and military new hires will often miss reserve days for guard duty, etc. Result is more interviews and bigger list. Just glad they keep hiring military!

"I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it! I would rather you just said "thank you", and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you're entitled to."
