Our contract says line pilots can only be typed on one, if they want to renegotiate, cool. I think they've tried in the past and the union "wants too much" for the efficency that would grant the company.
It's not about clinging to the old ways, it's about not giving up stuff just to give it up.
While there is some validity to the association not wanting to give the company that efficiency without a hearty price. “No, we have always done it this way” is still a big part of it.
