There is NO guarantee that this will not be used for SLI. Everything is arguable in front of an arbitrator. And yes, this will, IMO, go to arbitration to some level.
The 744 by itself is a pay cut if those aircraft are parked. I can tell you in the eyes of CAL MGT, you can count on them being parked in the near future.
