If they do it would be incredibly poor decision. They would loose a bunch of pilots and the classes would be empty.
It won't happen. As it is, the company wants to open up some articles of the contract for negotiation (since they're hurting for people) and the union is ready with some pretty good demands. Allowing the pay to go backwards would be extremely counter productive.
Besides, the LOA is good through Dec 31, 2018 (with retention bonus agreed through end of April 2018), so there wouldn't be changes before 2019 (of course there's an option of extending and improving the LOA).
