Well, you really cant stop an AWA being introduced for new hires, but what you can do is hurt them (almost ala Virgin style & have aircraft parked up against a fence for a day) and unfortunately a lot of crew fall sick on a particular day due to a bad case of the "sh*ts" and see how they like them apples.
This stuff is very real fella's. The wheel is starting to spin in OZ at the moment. Stop being walked over!
