I don't blindly follow the company but I would find it hard to believe they would do this just to spite the pilots. I think their motivation is strictly money (for themselves and the stock holders, in that order).

I'll take a stab at this- primarily speculation from a mgmt standpoint...
The cost/benefit MAY have shown it to be cheaper, but do not forget the value of a whipsaw and keeping flying away from us. It may be cheaper now, but they know we will jump on it and try to snap the payrates and benefits way up in the next contract.
