MDA pilots-on-leave travel benefits?

[fly with US]

I am curious, what do the MDA pilots who are on a leave-of-absence (I am sure there are many of them) get concerning travel benefits? Do they get furloughed (from mainline) benefits, or because MDA is furloughing, do they get free travel still?

Thanks

They can use their mainline flight benefits as they did not lose them when they went to MDA.

Since there never really was an entity called MidAtlantic, those on furlough, or those on leave, have the exact same benefits as "mainline" pilots. Any pilots who have been furloughed from the Embraer 170 fleet at USAirways, recieve a furlough package from USAirways, their unemployment packages say they were furloughed from USAirways (not MDA), and they become "furloughed AAA" pilots, and not "furloughed MDA", since there never was an MDA.

Can you see now why there is a $400 million suit against the company and the union?

ALL OR NONE!

Don't look now, but what are the travel bennies for furloughed eastcoasters?
