The company will avoid jobs losses if at all possible, even if they have to carry extra numbers for a while, they have said this and there is no reason to doubt that statement. It's not worth them making 10 people redundant now just to put another 10 on again in 12 months. But they do need to crew the Adelaide base and if that can be done by the current voluntary bidding process then that will avoid any pain for those who do not wish to go there. It may also be an opportunity for some more junior captains to stay in command.

PS: CaptainInsanO, I recommend you contact your base rep or union (AFAP) for clarification.
