I didn't ask "What more does the AOA do?"
I enquired as to what the Allied Pilots does. It appears from looking at their website that is does no more than the AOA does (or does not).
Sorry, it can put you in touch with insurers and lawyers. Big deal, I can do that myself. And as for:"Frequent, private, friendly gatherings are held to foster discussion, learning, problem-solving and camaraderie among us."
That's really going to make life flying for CX a whole lot better.
For many years now the pilots of CX have shown the bully that we have no balls so the bully can and does whatever they want.
There's no point in bitching about it. Put up with it or leave. AOA and/or Allied Pilots, sadly, aren't going to beat the bully.
