In 2022 over 1000 pilots will walk out the door. IMO that will generate over 6000 initial training cycles in 12 months. Perhaps you think less, but just imagine the number of seniority list instructors to accomplish the OE. The number of pilots required to cover the flying while all these pilots are in training.
Ask your reps to have ALPA E & FA do the math. The numbers are staggering.

6000 training events sounds high. The last I heard with our current semi banded rates you might see 4 events. Even if it's 6 events pay banding would have to eliminate all 6000 events to cost us 1000 jobs. In reality it might eliminate 10 percent of the training or 600 events.
