Whilst not wishing to incite civil disobedience
Why not??!
Civil disobedience implies acting illegally.
I've said it before, and some others have hinted at it above.
There is only 1 way to get action, and that is an industry strike.
You HAVE to hurt the public to get the politicians interested.
The problem with aviation is that is similar to my own industry, in that there are too many self interested people, and little cohesian against regulatory crap.
The aviation industry has the benefit that, the crap affects everyone so badly equally, that its not so hard to unite them.
A snap strike of 24 hours by all elements of thte industry would bring the country to its knee's.
You would need 'marketing people' to explain the the strike to the general public.
I'm pretty sure the likes of QANTAS are suffering under the new regulations. maybe instead of just increasing prices, they could add a new line to the ticket.....Regulatory Compliance Cost. might be worth more than than the seat!
it'll take more than 1 strike tho. and it has to involve pretty much everyone
