This management is also very image and brand conscious. If things drag on and turn ugly between the pilots and management it will not play out well. Pilot engagement, performance, and NPS scores will inevitably drop. There is some limit they can push this towards, but they will reach a point of diminishing returns if they drag on for too long.
