There would also need to be an elimination of banking credit time during furloughs.

Having caps in place could be a win-win for both management and labor, as it would reduce training costs generated from surplus bids. All of the money wasted in retraining pilots is akin to the broken window fallacy.

I'd also suggest that there should be a requirement for unlimited voluntary LOAs and reduced (down to, say, 40 credit hour) lines while pilots are furloughed. Not every pilot wants to work 100+ credit hours every month.
