NWA and Delta have very little if any overlap in domestic routes. Most of the growth I suspect will be in the international sector. Therefore, there may still be hope for pilots.
Not to mention between the 2 companies they plan on hiring 700+ pilots in 2008. So IF they needed to furlough it would be a wash because all they would have to do is stop hiring and it would be a wash. Thats saying they needed to furlough 700+ pilots = unlikely. Very little overlap, retirements, growth should equal no furloughs.
