Depends on the "operational reason". If they have a need for 767 licenced people but not 737 licences due to changed requirements then they can quite definitely target 737 licence holders because they are the capability that is surplus to requirement.
Having defined that 737 licenced people are surplus to requirements then LOFO applies to that particular skill set. Management always retains the right to manage, that cannot be removed for the clear reason that if they don't need 737 people they cannot be required to make people with required skills redundant,that is clearly ridiculous.
