Even if the company was trying to manufacture some leverage I'm not sure pilots in general would place any weight on it...in any company. Its simple, people will move to the position that gives that individual the best lifestyle proposition and in times of a pilot shortage, in Qantas at least, that means pilots will spend minimal time on a type they consider inferior. So manufactured crisis or not, it's going to take a genuine downturn for this structural predicament to return to equilibrium. Perhaps, there is a better way? At the moment I'm not sure many people care if the can is kicked down the road. More pay and/or more promotion. It's really simple and the industrial relation teams have their work cut out for themselves.
