Its been done before. I’ve done something similar before. Depends if you want leadership positions really.
Problem with this is a management postion awarded out of seniority can only be awarded for a fixed term, then you take whatever postion your seniority allows - per the EBA.
So 3 years later (or a management shuffle, new CP etc) and your back to an A320 FO with 3 years seniority.
The unions have recently taken this up with the company as a number of senior guys have had fixed term B787 introduction roles expire and don't want to return to lower seniority positions on the A320 fleet.
This is all probably beyond the scope of this thread, but if you want a postion on the Aus seniority list take a job in Australia - then move around the group as you desire. There is no real back door into JQ Aus anymore.
