Things that make you go hmmmmm???

Not sure I understand what you're saying but the training cost would be the same regardless of who gets bumped.
They could do that but there is no provision to force a bump INTO IAH. If they want to move the airplanes to another domicile that UAL 757/767 guys would bump into or stay then yes.
This was done with the closing of MIA by limiting bumps to ORD and IAD. Not sure of the details but it was negotiated by the MEC.
