This is divide and conquer.

Company: look this is what you guys agreed to it’s what the contract says. Blame alpa.

Pilot: well WTF? Alpa sucks. How’s they let this happen.

Company: put out another premium open time bucket(hehehe watch those guys pick it up)

Pilots: you violated the contract!!
Company: you guys picked it up?

This is union busting 101.
