I can tell you that Delta has been a very different animal to deal with since the merger between DAL/NWA. We had a much stronger relationship with mainline pilots than we do now.
Don't remember any flow backs going to XJ. Maybe some getting hired at the bottom of the list. It happen at 9e. We all were offered jobs at compass prior to recall. Only a hand full went though. At the beginning compass could have been all NWA furloughed pilots. NWA was just recalling at that time.
