Somewhere in the CX contract there may well be a clause to the effect that conduct which neglects the best interests of the company will lead to disciplinary measures?
Since the company have deemed it is in their best interests to recruit, anybody actively resisting this by intimidating behaviour towards new recruits, (and themselves creating a possible flight safety issue, not the recruit), must surely be setting themselves up to join the original 49?
Thus you will have even less AOA members. It can only end in tears if confrontation is seen as the only way, even if you do have a pathetic management team, they still call the shots in the end.
