Exactly, PMCO has lots of new metal coming 737s and 787s from before the merger, while PMUA had been shirking for the last 6 years.
As far as I know CO has always had these familiarization flights for new crew.
Also correct that sUA is at the same time offering buy out, so the sum total should be a younger fresher work group in the end.
