Don't worry - when Comair recalls you someday, 9 days later you'll start twelve months of year two pay. You won't miss a single day of it. Ka-Ching.
Luckily, year two pay next year will be more than year two pay is now. So from that standpoint, you win and Comair loses.
But seriously-
When Comair imposed a pay-freeze in June 2005, the guys still on probation did not get the freeze. They are on year five pay now, while guys senior to them are stuck back on year four pay. So who knows how this crap will play out?

You slipped through the cracks then, my friend. If you look at the table in Section 13, it says you do not accrue longevity while on furlough.

Then they let everyone slip through who was furloughed in 2006. Look at the seniority list and everyone who was hired in the summer of 2005 has the same hire date and longevity date.
Maybe this was based on language from the old contract which was still in effect at the time.

I can feel your pain - I was lucky enough to spend 26 months on year two pay.
Keep in mind, if any of us is furloughed for a year, technically we'll be missing out on the last year pay of our whole career, be that year 30 pay or whatever. So you're not out thousands, you're out hundreds of thousands.

I hate to break up an actual useful streak of posts, but here's a (not-so) funny story for you to share with your kids.
A friend of mine, just the other day, ferried to DAY, ran an extra section to MKE, ran another extra section back to DAY, then ferried home. The passenger on each of the extra sections consisted of 1 UM.
You can figure out the details.

It's a UM, in my mind it's not his responsibility to make sure he's on the right flight. It's the dumb rectum that brought that kid to the airplane (or however far he/she was brought). Tha UM escort should be fired, and stoned publicly.
