How much will the LOA effect staffing?

I think the general consensus is that we are fat on pilots. Aside from staying ahead of the delivery schedule and our higher than average utilization, how plump are we and how long can it be supported? Spirit will seek cost savings where and when they can. Hypothetically if a "correction" to staffing is required, then its way better to do it now while we have a fat delivery schedule and an aggressive growth plan rather than when economics require furloughs and downgrades. I find that more scary.
