Not only !
at least if you were captain you come back as such, sadly on a much lower pay, but captain
senority didn’t have value anyway.
but what’s about FOs who worked there ass off to have a career finally made it throu the stupid interview and suddenly lost everything towards a command. Now if some consider to come back they start at absolutely zero as nothing of the previous (their thousands of hours) is counting for them. Again FOs have taken the hardest hit in all that ****. Beside lossing maybe a higher salary they lost also their career and have to go another 5 plus years finding themselves next to somebody not even having half the time just being lucky enough not having lost the job.
And on top 6 month is chosen to make sure nobody can pass by the selection which of course will not reflect your previous record.
