Tried to do this with TAA (remember them) in the '70's... soon received a telephone call or two from Carlton (Unions HQ in those days) "asking" me to cease and stop!! Why? Too many Union staff would lose their jobs.
But it makes sense. If QF went on strike and
VB didn't... do you think QF wouldn't do something quick smart. It's privatised now and they couldn't afford not to be flying for too long... and management can't do everything.
I know in the old days neither TAA or Ansett on their own could carry 100% of the travelling public, but nowadays getting additional aircraft on a short (or indeed long) term charter is not so difficult.
Think about it.
