I think you are right. Folks that currently don't have a job(or have one that really sux) and folks that took the "express" flying jobs are probably the only ones that will take these positions.

I don't what the final numbers were for the first recall, but I know that most of the folks around my seniority level (6/2000) disappeared for good from the list when all was said and done. I guess after 4+ years on the first furlough, most of the smart ones found better jobs...
