Delta and Northwest cut lots of overlap, it just happned to be RJ's so there were no mainline furloughs. I'd be a little worried if I were working for one of the rj operators. UAL and CAL also did alot of mainline cutting in 2008 right after they didn't merge that time. I'd imagine they looked and said, "hey if we merge we don't need all this stuff." Then they thought about cutting that while fighting with unions and said let's not merge until 2010 and we can just cut all that stuff easier." I doubt you will see enough cuts at the mainline level to furlough more guys. Just my uneducated opinion after going through the DAL/NWA merger. Hopefully this goes good because I know a bunch of good guys at both airlines.
