Have to agree with you here. There is absolutely no evidence of this, in fact they are upgrading 4-6 new Captains every month, full stop.
Of course we could all do something stupid like running over to another Gulf airline and join the bottom of the list and wait for another 4-5 years, keeping in mind that all these airlines hire DECs and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future...
No, for the moment I would be more concerned about the financial situation and business plan of where we are rather than this rumour, this I think is something to be seriously concerned about, not to mention the state of the machines....
