Be very scared of the word "synergy." Combining the two airlines is going to allow efficiencies that were previously unavailable. Greater efficiency means less planes requires means less pilots required.
Tightening scope may be the only way to prevent even more furloughs. Its one of the only obvious ways that pilots can make sure that more pilots are needed at mainline. Prater may go on and on about "Taking it back" but I hope you guys actually do.
