100 senior wide body pilots being down trained and displacing 100 narrow body pilots means a total of 200 pilots to train.
If 100 senior wide body pilots displace 100 narrow body pilots, what training does this trigger for narrow body pilots? Aren't they out the door? The only reason 100 senior wide body pilots get to displace narrow body pilots is if there is redundancy. Therefore your math is wrong.

These senior pilots will now need to be retrained to fly the wide body again, plus other pilots will need to be retrained to fill the vacated positions on the narrow body.
If the company makes redundancy on the wide body, I don’t think you need to worry about what happens when the wide body positions return, I’d be asking if the wide body positions ever return.
