No, Lot of PRP are based at LHR. I suppose reasoning is that the Delta arose from Balpa sort of 'selecting' the pilots in the PRP and the cost difference associated, so they could hardly make the PRP pay for their own redundancy, hence why PRP is exempt.
Pools might be empty but BA pilots/ balpa signed the delta deal in 2020, doesn't mean it goes away.
You might sign a mortgage, if your house price falls doesn't mean the mortgage goes away just because the market has changed...
If said new hire doesn't want the delta, no one is forcing them to submit the application and go through a three-step hiring process to join.
