This kind of thing has been going on for a long time. When the first Piedmont flows started coming over to US/AA, they had a deal where they could go back to their spot at Piedmont if they failed out of training. Lots of old dudes that spent their entire careers in a Dash-8 were the first to flow, and some couldn't hack the big transition to a jet, FMS, etc...
