You can also do other work (for another job/company) whilst furloughed but only if your Contract of employment permits this.
Furlough has to be for minimum 3 weeks, as you say you can be "unfurloughed" at any point, then "refurloughed" and that refurlough has to be a new 3 week period. There will be ways around it such as doing a ferry flight on a self employed basis I suspect, or even asking the employees to make the odd flight on the promise of making up the money in the first regular pay packet. I'm sure in their haste in bring in the very welcome furlough plan HMG has failed to close each and every loophole. I suppose it's not inconceivable there'll be Easyjey crew out there who'd even work for free if it got them out of the house!
