I don't think we will see the same as a VA/TT like the JQ/QF pilot thing as they are so close in conditions. Minor things in each owns EBA may need to be re-shuffled but overall not a great deal compared to the QF group. Also it would appear that the pilot groups under the VA banner are more flexible to change with the current and unpredictable aviation environment which when chasing work and contracts may see them increase their yield.
As the above articles that I have read do not show a decrease in airframes it would also appear that the current pilots jobs at all VA airlines are somewhat secure at this time. What type or base you are on/ in is a different story which is how the industry is at this low point. Once things pick up again in time no doubt that will change. As has always been said before if you don't like it leave or change, but remember all those beers and wines you have thinking/ worrying/ contemplating this industry keep people in jobs of other industries so there is always some good out of a frustrating situation.
Love to fly but hate the industry, enjoy a red instead
