Actually, if they were to transfer the top 75 flowthru pilots now, the most junior of them would still have perhaps 1000 AA pilots junior to them actually flying, so no they wouldn't be IMMEADIATE furlough fodder (my numbers are approximate).
There have been plenty of 80-90 hour lines recently, but they've been the minority (perhaps 35%).
This information source has as much truth as not and highlights a disturbing belief that the current leadership is no better then ones past that did our pilots little good.
