Wondering what the average length of a furlough is. There’s a guy on another message board who says he was hired in August 2014, furloughed in September 2015, and brought back in March 2018. I’m hoping it’s just a typo, and that he wasn’t actually furloughed for 3+ years. That’s insane.

About six inches!
Go work for BNSF.
Depends on your class of service and work history (base year). Figure roughly $750 every two weeks. It's not real great. These benefits are good for up to 26 weeks unless you qualify for extended benefits. Go here for more details.

Any ideas how much RR unemployment pays?
Just depends.
I was furloughed out of Mechanical for two years back in the early 2000's.
No that’s accurate. And he actually made it a year after his new hire date before being furloughed so he’s luckier than some.
No typo, I know guys who have been furloughed longer then that!
