Southwest only has 34 737 MAX planes. There is no way that all 10000 pilots will be trained in 30 days. Most likely, a couple hundred of those will be trained up front so that enough pilots are trained when the plane is returned to service. Airlines segregate pilots all the time based on ratings for specific planes so this should not present a logistics problem. Southwest has another 200 MAX planes on order that have yet to be built, enough cushion to certify future pilots.
