To clear this up a smidge, the company can only offer new hires those positions which have gone unfilled on an AE. Assuming, in your scenario, there are a few unfilled vacancies which are now offered to new hires, the company can train those new hires whenever it wants to provided the first new hire is trained
after the last position awarded to a seniority list pilot in that AE (otherwise pay protections kick in).
Further, training does not need to completed from one AE before it may begin on another AE. Pay protection provisions only apply when looking at similarly situated pilots from the same AE (and category and training requirement...see 22.E.9).
