The way I recall it was that Delta had no obligation to honor the XJ flow. There was language that voided the flow if XJ was no longer wholly owned by NWA. I believe it was a courtesy from Delta to extend flow rights for up to 108 pilots. Delta looked at the XJ seniority list and marked the most junior pilot who actually turned down the flow to NWA. From that person, they counted down 108 #'s and drew a line below that pilot. Those 108 pilots had flow rights and most of them went to Delta. The flow line did not move down or junior when pilots in that group of 108 passed up the flow opportunity. As someone else stated, 108 was 12 months worth assuming monthly classes (9 per month x 120). Long story short, it was a courtesy extended out from Delta as they had no obligation to take any XJ flows post merger. FYI, the most junior XJ pilot who flowed to Delta has a DOH of June 2014 and has 1000 pilots below him. He was the last of the XJ flows.
