I think you are spot on.
Starting in June, training center capacity will be significantly diminished. SLIs back to the line in big numbers, several DPS instructors are “retiring” all affecting capacity negatively.
Senior SLIs are likely to displace to a seat (NB A, or WB B) they can comfortably hold for the long haul. Some might be willing to return to the department. Some might be willing to just sit in NQAT status on a different A/C and collect res guarantee, vice returning and “solving” someone else’s problems. Hiring a new SLI is a long process. Six months or more from interview to teaching an event unsupervised, normally. The company decision to reduce headcount in the training department is very short sighted IMHO.
