Sure, you may jump a handful of people, but not if everyone thinks the same as you and everyone takes LWOP. Now you’re coming back in your six year time frame, in seniority... having been paid zilch.
Let’s leave aside the pipe dream that is internal EOIs. Who are they going to train into Network? The S/O on LWOP who will want to return to mainline in a couple of years, or the ex EK F/O returning to Australia and is likely to stay at Network for the next decade?
