The regionals/LCC are making the $$ I think they can spare an extra 10L to train a guy who wants to leave the insant he gets called back to NWA, COA, et al.

I am sure it will cost these airlines more in the long run, but lets say JetBlue hires a furloughee and he/she stays at JetBlue for 2 years and then gets recalled. JetBlue then has to hire another pilot which and they will be at a lower pay rate. JetBlue could end up breaking even on this whole deal(just speculating), but the big thing is they like the GOOD GUYS and that is great PR.
