No kidding CC. Not even close. Also, dues for the HKAOA are dirt cheap compared to most major airline unions. No CX pilots pay more than 1%, most far less, and the loss of license insurance is included. For some of the most junior pilots, the insurance costs are more than their dues.
Now I will admit that the HKAOA is fairly ineffective so you don’t get much for your money. There are times in the past that this hasn’t been the case, but right now there seems to be a real shortage of leadership.
