Has OW stated that they are pursuing such a strategy? They haven't been shy about commenting on other aspects of their recruitment, like "quality over quantity". It's entirely possible that we can assign this in retrospect - I'd like to think that the management is not random, but...
Speaking of which, does SkyTeam have a stated recruitment strategy? OW is otherwise looking to carve out the high quality carriers, and *A is looking to be the biggest. ST is derided as the "leftover" alliance, but seriously, is there some semblance of a plan there?
