This very well could be EIM spreading their own FUD but this rumor is floating around.
I'd go with your belief at this point. There's a long 2018 'New Yorker' article spelling out how this group bought into, and then took over a medical records company... from the very guy who started it. They play very nasty. I read the article and then went back and re-read their strongersouthwest 'presentation'. They are following the same path.

We’re overstaffed….but nowhere near that overstaffed. And when Boeing gets their head out of their butts and starts cranking out planes….where we gonna get fully trained FO’s from since 2500 guys will bail to UAL and DL?

I heard Elliott wants to furlough 6000 pilots and push the FAA to change the regs so we can have the FA rest rules and no block limits. Everyone hired in 2016 onward should be expecting a furlough notice.

I believe this as much as I believe every other post on this waste of a thread. RJS left his morning dump in the family bathroom in DAL and it told me that a union guy said that Elliott wants to furlough 1222 pilots so that they can be better than Gary Kelly and that every FO has to go serve cokes once we level off at cruise so that the extra flight attendant can hock credit cards.

Hawk.

Hock means something else (pawnshop).

Next time there will be a grammar infraction.
