Actually, I lay the blame for this on SWAPA with the caveat that I don’t know what happened in the negotiating room. They should have just negotiated Cptn. rates and insisted on 70% for FOs. Problem solved and no angst amongst either side of the cockpit.

Exactly right!
This is causing exactly what it's meant to do, animosity between the children. If true, how in the world did SWAPA get bamboozled into agreeing to a pay rate that is sure to be divisive? In this negotiating environment? Are they shooting for a 50+1% solution? Because if this turns out to be true, that's where it may end up.
To be clear, CAs are not upset that FOs would get more. CAs are upset that pay didn't rise enough and that the percentage of CA pay that FOs get didn't rise along with it. A tide raises all boats.. Like landings, look at the end of the runway not just in front of you...
