They won't keep anymore pilots on the property than they need.
And this is based on what ?
Management, like the union has discussed and analyzed furloughes, but both parties realize the the inefficiency of one, a short furlough and the detriment to morale and its' ensuing tangible/intangible cost(s).
There are numerous other remedies to employ before pink slips and in talking with union/managment employees both would rather employ non-separation rememdies first before issuing a furlough. Until you see these, all this talk of furlough is just that, sensational talk.
As is evidenced with the DHL deal, plans have to be fluid and day-to-day, they may change. Even with the best tea leaves, bar room discussions, and tarot cards the plan is usually too hard to determine much less start fantastic rumors of furlough.
