Correct. But their RAFFA doesn't have the same clauses in there that the Jet AFFA does for the returning of their redundant/furloughed pilots.
For the Jets, when the rosters hit (or are set to hit) 60 hours, then redundant/furloughed pilots must be brought back to reduce it below 60 hours. And only WHEN all redundant/furloughed pilots have returned, can they cancel the AFFA, should it still be in place.
It is unfortunate that the RAFFA didn't retain similar wording, because now there are 50-odd guys and girls struggling to find supermarket jobs while the people just above them on the seniority are back on full-time pay and rosters.
