Actually yes it can, it got close to happening around 2011 if I remember correctly. If a large number of crew hadn’t gone to other airlines on LWOP, MOU’s etc there would have been significant redundancies. This was all happening while Jetconnect went merrily on its way....be careful how much you rely on the Fair Work Act, because I am pretty sure champagne corks were popping at the campus when the election result came through.
