But on the other hand the arbitartors may have different ideas. Only time will tell.

I agree with you. The only issue is that indoc is really about the FOM and operating under the certificate. So really, the newhire would do indoc in MSP for assignment to a former NWA airframe. FOMs go with the operating certificate, they are FAA approved. Maybe NWA will modify it's operations fast enough that the only difference between the two would be the actual aicraft training and procedures.
