Not worth the paper they're written on. You cannot be compelled to prospectively waive future rights in accordance with federal law.
That said, I would foresee considerable litigation over issues such as this, because, for instance, should a company be required to re-hire, re-train and line assign a pilot who is, say, 64 and has been retired for four years? That pilot will just get out of training and IOE when she/he again retires--all of this at huge cost. So yes, there's bound to be some issues to resolve.
