Its difficult because essentially they are completely separate companies with separate seniority lists so if you left to go to one of those companies you have to resign from Aus. Coming back you would be starting from scratch with everyone else at the bottom of the seniority list again. Yes in the past LWOP has been on offer but it’s not the normal
