Maybe they are just happy where they are and the legacies is not for them.
Presumably you're a CA. That's a whole different calculus, perfectly logical to keep your seniority since you're already making several hundred grand. I have several buddies in that boat, they occasionally grumble about applying to DL, but they don't actually do it.
I was talking about a (young) new-hire today... HE will not move up 60% in a few short years. Probably leaving a lot on the table if he stays at an LCC if he doesn't have to.
