They also flew Dash 8's under the mainline brand. Not sure what they paid.

Eastholes and Westicles. Hopefully in 10-15 years, the new FOs will have no idea what those terms even mean.

At a minimum it will be that long. The hatred that exists now is so deeply rooted that even 15yrs seems a low.

Hatred says a lot about a person. It's the equivalent of taking a poison pill and hoping your enemy dies.

Maybe but this is the worst I have ever seen. Republic/NWA pails in comparison and I do mean PAILS! In that merger there was not a calculated effort on the part of either party to bring harm to the other. The arbitrator made his ruling and that was that folks HONORED IT even when they did not like or agree with the ruling. The position that was taken by the LUS East pilots have destroyed any change of rebuilding trust. That ship has sailed and I firmly believe that bitterness and hatred will linger on for years 2030 is my best guess.
