Of course you can. You don't have to accept a posting. No one is forcing you.
Naivety is alive and well.
When you are given a new assignment on JPA you have to tick the box accepting the new assignment. If you do not want to accept the assignment order then back onto the front page of JPA there is a box which will allow you to refrain from accepting any further assignments. Tick that box and you no longer have to accept any further assignment orders. You will also see your flying pay reduce.
The point is, we are all volunteers - no press gangs here. If you don t want the job then go and find a different one.
