I don't know of anyone who thinks someone else in their group should get shafted (other than potentially those who've 'sold out' and scabbed or violated the training ban). This isn't 1990 (where the company appears stuck). Information today travels VERY fast and is very well publicized (social media is a very recent development). What people didn't know in the past they DO know today--although this needs filtered due to the immense amount of stuff out there.
After the last big hoo-haw, it's unlikely (for a few years at least) then hired B-scalers really knew that much about history or what had happened unless they took the time to really get into it. Today everyone is getting a blow-by-blow account in real time. So any changes are well apparent and instantly available to everyone--those in CX as well as those who might have considered joining; as is the information of how it will affect ones' career over the expected (and projected) span OF that career. And of what else might be out there. Seniority still rules, but with instant access other options also become apparent when a decade or two ago they would not have been. Nothing to see this trend as abating so a company must work with incentive and attraction rather than entrenchment and hitting things with a stick.
Many of the pilots hired here (and who the airline liked to hire at the time) are demonstrated professionals who served in the forces or in civil aviation where their brethren depended upon them to get the job done; often for their very lives and in very hazardous circumstances. These folks were willing to lose the jet--and even their life--to pull a fellow pilot (or fighter, worker, or evacuee) out of a bad situation. And they're smart enough to see how the divide and conquer game works.
So turning them against each other or getting them to sell out is pretty d@mn unlikely. On the other hand, the company can be (and may well have been) successful at turning them against IT due to its own bad behavior. At a point where it needs them the most. This is pretty d@mn stupid by anyones' playbook.
