I know plenty of 9 drivers at NWA. All of them really don't have any ill will towards the Compass pilots. They have said that they are sorry that the whole situation evolved as it did, but they aren't going to take out their anger towards managment at another pilot group- especially when it was their own pilot group that created (and continues to negotiate for- at least in the short term) Compass.

It may still very well become a whipsaw group, but Compass is most certainly not an alter-ego airline ala GoJets or Freedom.
