It's called N E G O T I A T I N G
Just a guess on my part - I wasn't on the negotiating committee....
But, agreeing to narrowbody rates on the 757 was probably something (one of MANY things) we agreed to (gave up) in order to secure the higher payrates for the A380.
Now, the company is trying to have their cake and eat it too (bait and switch) by cancelling the A380 and "replacing" it with the 777 but claiming the 777 is just another widebody (payrates) aircraft.
Negotiating in bad faith all the while knowing they were going to dump the A380 anyway.
I often wonder why the concept of negotiating (give and take) seems to be lost to a lot of people who post on this forum??
