They will likely not be anywhere near going to training or converting yet.

For those who have converted early because they were junior in their previous category, they need a LOT of open positions in their previous category posted for the AE so they can exercise reinstatement rights unless the company cancels the displacement of pilots senior to them in their previous category at the same time.
