As a now Interested bystander,
can I ask your motive for posting this hypothesis?
Putting aside the moral, legal and reasonable arguments it would fall at the first pragmatic hurdle.
sack all your over 50s and there are v few captains left to sign the tech logs on the LH fleets. Train the SH capts to LH I hear you say but you’ve just sacked a large proportion of your TCs.
I would suggest any BA/IAG manager who voiced that idea should and probably would be for the “ chop” as you so endearingly put it.
