Actually, big Phil got exactly what he wanted: cheap labor, and a turboprop platform to launch the Q400s with low seniority pilots, while screwing over the 9E pilots who were more senior and would have demanded more money in accordance to the CBA. Colgan pilots at the time were non-union, and had no say. The non-union Colgan grew/expanded while the union Pinnacle downgraded and displaced.
