Don't so sure it "won't" be the SOs. EBA refers specially to redundancies being wide body group. (Not fleet specific like the narrow body agreement). Unfortunately the cost argument doesn't stack up as it is way cheaper (and easy to prove) to retrain them than making crew with 10-19 years service redundant.
