Hmmm, I don’t know if it would really. I doubt you’re going to get many if any new pilots at those bases, you’re talking existing pilots at Emirates, which isn’t going to do anything to Australian pilot numbers in the short term.
The shortage is not cyclical. Forward thinking airlines may recognise pilots really are a necessary ingredient in Operating Revenue: No Pilots equal little Operational Revenue.
Inside corporations (including airlines) HR/IR occupy a lot of space, consume a lot of head count and remain a substantial cost centre.
A forward thinking airline may realise they have cut the wrong areas (operational staff) and address the shortage by directing resources, including bases at Operational areas.
