Your speculation is that Ukraine has plenty of spare pilots to be trained. Mine is they don't. I'm pretty sure neither of us really has any special insight into that, so will just have to be another point of disagreement about how feasible Ukraine operating a large number of F16s is by now or near future.
I think there are many good reasons why Ukraine is not flying F16s now and why USAF sources have indicated it probably won't be until 2025 that Ukraine is operating F16s in anything more than a cursory role. I don't think will alone would have changed that but I'm certainly no expert.
