Comparing furlough and being "Stood Down" is irrelevant, to accept the offer of employment within the Group then you have to take LWOP.
Not really, there’s nothing stopping a pilot from quitting their stood down job (giving up recall rights) in order for another company to take them on the books.
I don’t agree with how QF or VA has handled their pilot group, but that being said it’s really no surprise that another company is shying away from hiring pilots that still have their foot back the pond of their old employer.
