b) The Company may make pilots compulsorily redundant, which WILL occur in reverse order of seniority – that is, on a last on first off basis except that the Company MAY ‘pass over’ a pilot who is on LWOP and that period of leave commenced prior to the issuing of the notice of compulsory redundancy and was approved for a period of more than 12 months.

Got it. So the company is going to to use this clause to passover a less expensive junior CR candidate, in order to pay out a larger sum of money in these financially constrained times to a more expensive senior pilot. Makes sense.

If any of you believe any of the rubbish being spruiked by HR/Tino then read yesterday's article in the SMH -

"The plan means Qantas is much less likely to emerge from the coronavirus pandemic with the risk of its long haul international pilots taking holidays just as the company's planes get back in the air."

So now the accrual of Annual Leave and Long Service Leave isn't actually about the bottom line, it's about the pesky pilots deciding that after X Months/Years of not flying they are going to take Leave as soon as they are stood up again and threaten the future of the airline.

You couldn't make this sh1t up. No, wait, not true. I've read enough of the comments on this forum to understand how easy it is to lead sheep to slaughter.
