That seems kinda bassackwards that companies wouldn't want to rehire unless they were not well liked when there - but if they showed up on time and did their work a person should be considered quite an asset with knowledge of how the company works etc. If you put you time in and left on good terms I see no reason why they shouldn't welcome you with open arms. Of course this is the aviation industry so common sense does not always apply.

It would obviously depend on the specific company's management, but most probably will hire you back if:
- You left on good terms, with reasonable notice.
- Your resignation was for your own reasons, not due to something controversial. If you resigned for family reasons, they will probably want to know that your situation has been solved, whatever it was.
Remember, they already know for sure that you can complete training and show up for work reliably. They would probably only want to know "What changed?" so they can evaluate whether you will stick around for a while...they don't need you to stay forever, just longer than 6-12 months.
If you are furloughed from another carrier, they would probably require that you resign your seniority number.

Not from the airline industry, but I used to work for a company called Dataflex Corporation at one time. I actually sought out that company because the CEO was the author of the book "How To Make a Buck and Still Be a Decent Human Being." Anyway, the CEO of Dataflex felt very strongly that with very few exceptions, if you resigned from Dataflex you could NOT come back. His reason behind that policy was that it discouraged people from leaving unless they were absolutely sure they wanted to go.
