Reasonable outlook though hope you're wrong too. I've often heard unless we furlough for 2 years it isn't worth it with the displacement & training churn but no solid data so not sure. I'm 3k from the bottom and still reasonably concerned but hope we don't furlough a single pilot.
And if we do...for those perhaps unfamiliar you DO NOT pick up any extra flying as long as a single pilot is still on furlough. Fly your schedule and that's it. Bad juju.

How big of a chunk can they do at a time? Is it usually 50-100/month or can they just dump 1000 guys all at once?

If that large a number is necessary Delta is most likely gonna have to do it from the top and bottom.
The training dept is already cutting staff. Training displacement pilots with months remaining and the cascade those displacements create is a tuff economic argument to make.
I see abt 600 AA pilots took the early out. Not seeing any reason pilot behaviors here will be markedly different

min just under 3k from the bottom. I fully expect a furlough. The question I have is for how long? I’ve heard stories it could take a while to get that far up until list.

I agree. My cousin is an 84’ hire and turns 62 in June. He just missed it. He tried pulling the eject handle but it stuck. According to him, a lot more probably would’ve taken it.

Piedmont....... now AA 84 hire. A330A PHL. But not for much longer. Lives in MCO area. We have always talked about me riding on his jumpseat for his retirement flight but it may not happen, if they offer more early outs.
