Some things you can expect (I'm not privy to details, just basic ideas):
--Some sort of buyout for senior folks
--Reduce min line values
--COLAs
--Voluntary furlough packages
--Involuntary furloughs, displacements and downgrades will take place after all the above options have been fulfilled to the maximum extent possible.

For example, the company has used the number 300, which seems high to me, but let's use it anyway.
Let's say 15 senior guys take the buyout, and they get min line values down to a figure that would save 50 pilot jobs. They offer COLAs in monthly or 2 to 3 month blocks and another 50 pilots take those. For voluntary furloughs, let's say anoter 20 pilots take those. That's 135 positions they managed to mitigate. So, they would have to involuntarily furlough 165 pilots.

Again, that is nothing official! I was simply using arbitrary figures to show how it will basically work.
