I also think the main reason they are doing TOWOP for almost all positions is because starting in April they will take 7 of our planes a month for new paint. I am on a trip with a senior 900 CA right now and he was told by the "boss man" that come this summer there will be lots and lots more flying for us.
The real story according to the big wigs told to pilots at a recent ground event is that they have no clue what is going to happen. They claim to be over staffed 80-100 currently. I believe them when they say they don't know what Delta has in store for us. I don't think the writing is on the wall for anything because Delta really does not know what they are going to do. No one has taken the early out yet and 31 people took the last TOWOP. It seems for the current time there would be no reason to let people go when people keep taking voluntary time off.
