would all the pilot group try and negotiate all new conditions to save there colleagues?
Go back and have a look at how the previous EBAs have been negotiated. To name just a few -
380 pay introduced at 400 pay +5%.
S/H pilots introduce a B scale in order to secure a payrise/bonus for current S/H pilots.
Senior guys fighting tooth and nail to stop any form of blankline sharing.
Over 60s sticking around (and back-bidding) for one reason only - the hope of redundancies. (Not a judgement, just a statement. Each of us has to be honest, if we were in their position most would do the same.)

It is why the company has the pilot group over a barrel. Pure self interest by most. There are those who would gladly negotiate new conditions to save their colleagues but they are out-numbered, and to be honest for what? The company's mindset is to destroy T&Cs of QF staff. Any 'give' by the pilot body will not result in a long term gain to the pilot body.
