Here's how it will go:
1) Company overstaffed
2) BLGs reduced to Minimum guarantee
3) Still overstaffed
4) BLGs reduced to 48/60 (furlough minimum) 4-1,A.2.b
5) Pilots furloughed
6) Pilots continue picking up extra flying (including DPs if there are any), protecting carryover, advance volunteer/ draft etc.
7)furloughees flipping hamburgers

I think ANC is a bit of a wildcard in this mix. Lots of very junior FOs. Why get excessed to a narrow body when you can go to ANC??? Yeah, its a tough commute, but probably not as tough as a paycut.... or am I missing something obvious here?

I'm not looking at a contract right now, but I believe that if it ever did go to a furlough ( I don't think it will with the 777 on it's way and the 20 crew per airplane that they are talking about in the training dept) there is no draft and volunteer allowed as per the CBA.

Multiple Factors
I bet there are a lot of reasons for the cancellation. Possibly some sort of deal with DHL, very likely we can't get the 757s fast enough and need to deploy them in the US first to get rid of the 727s sooner with gas prices where they are. Not to mention the psychological warfare towards us junior guys to get us to think about bidding HKG.
By the way, why would they excess off of the right seat of the 727 to the back. We're so fat here? The cost would be high given the training costs.
