if it's even a decision for you whether or not to accept recall you should stay at where you are and reject it... as long as your alternative employment doesn't involve saying "would you like fries with that?" you are probably taking a pay cut and a QOL cut going back (keeping in mind the aforementioned job would be about equal in pay and has better hours... unless ur working the drive-thru at midnight)
Why would anyone listen to your advice? If you think not having the option to bypass will speed up the recall process and bring more people back to work, you might be misdirected. If the pilot group had the option to bypass, I think a lot of people will bypass allowing more junior guys to come back to work. I find it very disturbing that you are advising people to resign just to benefit yourself.

To the guys that think a bypass option is not a good thing:
Without a bypass option more people will accept the recall now. That means Comair will not send more recall letters anytime soon. If the bypass option was available, a lot of us will bypass allowing more junior guys to return to work sooner.

We should stop all this fighting, and support each other. Do what best for you and your family's future, and I'll support you 100%. I know, I won't be called up in the next wave or 2 (I'm in the 70's now).
Now lets get back to more important things. Like having the union trying to fix the staffing issues, Look at comair completion fact for this month. There has not been any real bad weather in the country. They will see that they need all of us soon.

If you're on the fence about returning, it might be worthwhile to log on to epic and check the monthly line awards. The majority of pilots are seeing T.A.F.B. of well over 300 hours...and a very large percentage are "on the road" 350 hours/mo. or more...and this is if they live in domicile.
It may not be the same job it was when you left.
P.S. I have no vested interest in any furloughed pilot resigning their seniority number.

I'd actually like to return to comair..and getting the ball rolling in this process would help my decision making process greatly..but this is a hard decision for a lot of people, and they deserve the 10 days that they're contractually provided to ponder and discuss it with family, friends and current employers.

That said, DTW is supposed to be more productive and hopefully more commutable. Couldn't get much worse...

Question. Say I go back August 1st, which I am, none of that "I'm gonna weight my options thing", I picked that date because of prior family vacations and to stay away from JFK. But, lets say someone junior to me goes back at one of the earlier dates and the bid for DTW goes very senior (which may or may not happen because of commuting). If there are pilots below me who get CVG because of DTW going senior, what happens to me when I come back and want CVG and now can't get it? Also, does it matter that I was CVG based when furloughed? I know I could possibly go hunt for the answer but if there's someone out there who knows off the top of their heads that'd be grrrreeeaaat.
