The only obstacle may be whether an FA wants to temporarily work as a GA or in Res (since they signed on to be an FA in the first place). These measures will be taken to transition staff from IFS to ACS/Res if it means preventing or minimizing involuntary furloughs.
I am surprised DL would let so many people leave voluntarily with incentives to the extent they will be short-staffed in some departments and have to train replacements. They would not only be paying the incentives for current employees to leave but also training the replacements, which costs even more money.
