How many pilots are we talking about there? Looks like a repeat of the Pan Am deal for the FDL guys. Keep the pilots, get rid of their airplanes. Nobody's fault I know and nothing any of us has any control over but what a crappy industry. They had to know shrinkage was the plan when they sold the deal. A little bit of growth (maybe on the West Coast), some new airplanes, really get rid of some RJ's, and management could have made some friends with this group. Looks like they're going the other way.

Heres a question/scenario:
Lets say DAL chooses to furlough 1000 guys at once. Hypothetically, lets say everyone furloughed wants a compass position. They could just train the most senior 350 guys of the furlough and mitigate some training costs? The other 650 guys would never see a day at compass.

I think it is just an evil plan to screw with the 767 domestic reserve guys ... where'd that come from?
Also makes me wonder how this giganormous displacement from the 767 domestic is going to work out, especially during IROPS.

Why do they do this all the time while the 767 domestic guys have nothing to pick up?

It is contractual. Not the shift in flying but the need to keep the TLV for the year in skew. They do this every winter to make the ER fall in line.
I do not mind it, as it is a paid vacation.

So, here is an ER trip in March: March 2nd ATL-SRQ-ATL-SRQ. March 3rd SRQ-ATL-LGA-ATL.
Say IROPS occurs and they have to recrew their LGA turn with reserves, who does it? ER or 767? Can ER crews be called in to fly a 767 trip? Even in bad IROPS? I did a SFO turn two weeks ago, even the scheduler was like I have no idea why they're telling me to use an ER crew but here ya go. It had a 7ER on it but its not like ER crews own the 763ER.

ER does it first. White slip, yellow slip etc. If they cannot cover it, they can then go to the 767 pool to fill the post.
Read the JPWA it is all in there. It is to protect each categories flying.
