Forgive a non-pilot sticking his oar in, but could someone elaborate on how furloughing works in the US? I take it (maybe wrongly?) from the above that when furloughed you can go and get another job to pay the bills, and I suppose if a recall comes then you have a choice of turning it down (which would be taken as a resignation I guess?) or resigning from your new employer?
Just interested as I have seen the term around here a lot, but realised I don't really understand what it means in practice.
Thanks.
