9E was not really willing to budge. They stuck with category/class methods that basically ignored reality. In the end, they proposed categories RJ CA, RJ FO, Prop CA, Prop FO, so basically wanted to staple Colgan.

As for hating in crew rooms, I hear the crew room banter is getting bad in DTW especially. However, only 3 people were responsible for this mess and they were on the 9E merger committee. The rest of the 9E group were basically victims to the proposals put out by these 3. I think at this point the most vocal/****ed off guys are talking with their feet and have already left or are in the process of leaving.
