Could be.. but the right thing to do would be to have them re-interview in the very first group on interviewees upon resumption of hiring

You could do it to be nice, but there's not much business case for it.
IMO unions should negotiate snap-back provisions if that's of value to the pilot group. It's of value at regionals, because it allows an established regional CA to try for the majors without rolling the dice on his family's financial future, and thereby encourages upward mobility in the ranks. It's not of much value to most major pilot groups.
