Probably not, but there are bigger businesses than Qantas at stake here and making a determination that leads to rapid attrition and cripples the operation that facilitates a large percentage of Australia’s commerce (ie FIFO transport) is hardly in the FWCs interest. Their instinct might be to let Qantas run their business as they see fit but they will probably realise (or someone will mention) that that isn’t in the public interest, which is one of the criteria for an IB determination.
