No, that's right. Everyone would sit back and remain happy. Yes, ultimately nothing gets done because, as you say, there is no union and no basing system. However, in the past, there were no jobs elsewhere. Now there is. So you're potentially robbing Peter to pay Paul. And Paul could be a further loser as DEP courses don't carry a 100% success rate. If your adding unrated pilots with no experience of FR ops, then the potential for issues increase. I did however admit that no one knows about UK bases being available or not, so your theories about ultimatums could prove correct. All in my opinion and you may be right, but honestly I think your just trying to stir the pot.
