It was also in the first blatant negotiation in public memo that it was a targeted ALV reduction for 2 years of no furloughs.

Delta chose the order of the steps they took, starting with the April rebid (14% paycut for me) and then the subsequent steps. SWA had a comprehensive plan for their pilot group on 1 June that almost 25% of their pilots participated in some form of leave. I don’t know a single person to be naive enough to think that will guarantee no furloughs but when the time comes and the company (SWA) states that revenue is not returning and they need to furlough or reduce hours, I think the pilots will be willing to actively work with management. Our management has soured our relationship so badly I don’t see any willing help coming from this group. They have done this so backwards it’s almost embarrassing. But, that just makes me think it was 100% intentional.
