Lets be frank, the largest prize in the list integration is captain positions, if you use that as a bar to measure our groups we are very similar. Of course the compromise to the DOH would be a 1 year fence, so a large chunk of the guys at Colgan who chased the Q-400 growth wouldn't get burned and could still upgrade and many of us wouldn't get leap frogged by 300 people who were hired after us.
