I think that these birds would rejoin the fleet back at some point but they might be parked for a long period until demand recovers.
For practical reasons that would be impossible. The trainers will be moved to other fleets, pilots will be retrained or made redundant, the simulators will be decommssioned and removed, etc etc.
If BA have formally ended fleet training then this is really the end.
