This is due mainly to the fact that the industry was stagnate for five years and most of the people that are getting hired by other carriers have roughly the same qualification across the board (1000+ total hours TPIC with Check-airmen experience and/or military).
Moral of the story go where you will have the best QOL. Nothing in this industry is guaranteed, you might as well be happy/comfortable while you wait your turn at the left seat.
Right now, RAH is seeing the same amount of attrition from the top as TSA is. So they are only losing 20/month with 2400 pilots and TSA is losing ~20/month. The larger pilot group will generally always lose a smaller percentage of pilots compared to a smaller one. Also, usually the larger the pilot group the larger the percentage of lifers.
