I do not think this is done to scare any of the senior pilots to take an early out. This does not affect them in anyway. Senior pilots are so high up on the seniority list there is now way they will get furloughed. Senior pilots do not care if all the people below them lose their job. I do not think a single senior pilot will take the early out to save someone’s job unless it benefits them if a big way.
Your second point might be valid though. I hope the 300 number is a high number or the max they are expecting. The company might want to tell us the worst case scenario that way if the number is lower, no one will complain.
