DAL only pays your move if you are cancelled out of a base- i.e. a base closing or you are bumped out of base due to a Mandatory Displacement. You are NOT paid for a move if you bid that base or category voluntarily.
There is an exception for "new categories"- i.e. when we recently created the NYC 777 category, the first six months was a paid-move window.
So, your next question might be would the respective airline's domiciles be considered "new" for each other? Well, going by Pan Am and Western precedents, the answer is no.
