I bet management would love it.
90-75=15. 15x5000=75,000. 75,000/75hrs = 1000 less DAL Pilots.

Scoop, no disagreement here. Except that as I have run through my brain what management wants, the only thing I can come up with is this as a negotiable possibility. Therefore, I wrote it down with my rebuttal proposal.
What other possibilities can you come up with in the new far117 paradigm?
PS...if you fly to far max, you take two months off with reserve guarantee at the end of the (rolling) year. No staffing impact is possible.
