Yes, the people who moved to DL under that program were Pinnacle/Colgan/Mesaba originally, but that’s because hardly anyone was hired from 2011-2014 (and a somewhat faster trickle from 2009-2011). It makes sense that movement has slowed over the last 12 months due to the way the hiring programs were structured, the lapse in hiring 2009-2014, and Delta’s recent slow down in hiring. But the fact remains we had 800 Endeavor pilots move from Endeavor to Delta 2013-2018.
Envoy flowed around 1300 pilots from 2013-2018. Their relative age at flow was probably higher than Endeavor's but the hiring at Delta was much more robust during that time frame than at AA. Early SSP hires will probably fair much better in terms of relative seniority gains than the later ones.
