Probably not. But anyone senior to the most junior DEN upgradee should be pay protected.
The two ALPA contracts I'm familiar with both have provisions which spell out what happens in this instance. One maintains base rights regardless of equipment. The other allows you to proffer a displacement bid to any open position systemwide. It allows the company to cancel a training freeze in this case, so long as every senior pilot is likewise released from any training freeze.
I don't think it makes much difference; either way, somebody's gonna be upset. At least with a Contract you you have a voice in how things will be adjudicated and its in black and white.
