I just heard that the cumulative cancellation total was something like 750 flights in the last 2-3 weeks and most of that was in good weather. If that's accurate, it sounds like the wheels are about to fly off pretty fast there, long before ALPA can help the company out of this. Reading the RAH thread, it sounds like they have massive staffing issues there as well, so I assume this HAS to be industry wide.
I'd be surprised if any jets were wakened from the dead, if they cannot staff the present fleet with an ever dwindling pilot force. This doesn't bode well for upgrades either. A strong chance of AA's TA passing brings hordes of furloughees back to 3rd year pay and many not even on reserve spells slamming the brakes on the flow thru by Spring.
Should get quite interesting at Envoy by Summer.
