I don't think QF has any intention of doing much of that.
Given Qantas recently sold off the yet another another revenue centre (catering) and has spent its entire corporate life outsourcing and offshoring every Australian job possible to the extent permitted in the QSA, is it any wonder it now flies a flag of convenience? Corporate welfare courtesy of the Australian taxpayer?
Qantas executive management failed to anticipate a shortage that has been axiomatic for decades, failed to invest in pilot training, simply 'fishing out' GA, the military and now looks overseas to solve a problem that reside in IR and level 9, building A. They succeeded driving down terms and conditions in their home market to a level that means there is insufficient supply!
Finally they want the taxpayer to foot the bill for a steady 'stream' (pun intended) of pilots.
It used to be politics was the refuge of the scoundrel, it now surely is Coward street.
