Suddenly you think they'll just shift into overdrive and start disciplining people left and right? Why? Just to cause chaos?

And just because the company wants something doesn't mean they are necessarily out to get it to screw you. They want to make the ship more efficient. Delta/United are both organized in the same manner that management wants to organize us. They know that, and they want to level the playing field and get rid of unnecessary inefficiencies. There is absolutely no reason to have separate I/D divisions. And I seriously doubt they'll go to 2-pilot crews to Europe simply because that's right there on the fringe and there's too many things that would make that operation illegal in a heartbeat. They'll keep 3-pilot crews to nearly all the European destinations just like DL and UA did.
Not sure what your background is prior to coming here but i'm guessing maybe military? Either you have very little airline experience or are very naive. I don't mean to sound insulting but I'll give you some advice for the future. The company WILL use vague contractual language to a$$ rape you at every opportunity. If they CAN do something, they WILL, and it will NEVER be to your benefit.
