I wonder if the program participants, assuming they are new to aviation have thought of, or are aware of the potential alienation. Hopefully the word will get out and they'll rethink their choice before it's too late.
$125k cost per candidate should be enough for them to rethink their choice. I actually got asked today if it would be worth me paying $125k to get on with JB. My response was no way. There are plenty of other programs to get the hours and experience needed and EVERYONE is hiring.
The union shouldn't expend political capital on fighting this program. Very few will be want to join through it and even less will be able to afford it.

The union needs to focus on fighting for increased pay and QOL. People using JB as a stepping stone will only help in that battle as the company has to absorb additional training costs and encounters staffing issues.
