You are getting things mixed up pretty badly.
You are talking about past practice. Status quo is something completely different.
QT is not past practice, because it has no contractual role. Past practice is for interpretations and applications of the CBA. QuickTrade did not even exist when the CBA was ratified.
QT is not status quo, because removing it did not materially change pay, hours or working conditions.
