This may be totally rumor, and false at that, but I heard thru a shaky grapevine that some Winston folks who took the early out were able to be rehired thru America West, before the merger, and then were able to regain their pay seniority they had before the early out. Even though they cashed their severance chekcs already. Sounds fishy and totally bogus, but this is flying around out there believe it or not.
