The bottom line is a Pandora’s box has been opened and like a royal commission do you want to go to FWA without knowing what the result will be.
Not really.
The LWOP pilot will be asked to come back early (they are employed by the company). They can refuse.
The CR pilot remains unemployed until Qantas do external recruitment. At that point they return to Qantas and return to the same seniority # (above the LWOP pilot).
