"Having an individual take the full weight of the current management's wrath alone would achieve nothing and be professional suicide....fact!"
I don't think anyone's ever advocated volunteering to be cannon fodder. But if the AOA had chosen to risk its own members by implementing an upgrade ban, or other meaningful industrial action, it might actually have accomplished something by now. Instead we have the hiring ban, which arguably works against the cause for reasons well documented elsewhere.
The upgrade issue is moot now, it's already happened and that's the course the AOA has chosen, with the ensuing lack of credibilty.
You mention a collective effort to have CX honour its contract. Sounds great...but what does that mean? Clearly the AOA has no stomach for direct confrontation (acknowledging the pro-management HK labour laws). That leaves the passive-aggressive hiring ban. If that's the sum of the stategy...good luck.
