Spoke to one of the CP's this morning and part of the problem is that Airways can't seem to make up their mind exactly how much flying they want us to do. The number has changed 4-5 times in the last 2 weeks.
As far as reducing the lines is concerned, I think they actually save money by furloughing guys and not having to pay medical benefits, 401k, etc and flying the cr@p out of the rest of us, than they would by reducing to guarantee and paying all the extras.
On a brighter note, this could be a lot worse than any of us imagine....
