I joined such an organisation (AFAP) in 1974, and am a member to this day.
Unfortunately the Quaint ones decided it was all a bit humiliating having to deal with the hoy poloy, upped their stumps and took their bat. That was the start of the decline.
Then there was 89 when a couple of hundred decided they could do better on their own. Not one of them is currently employed by those to whom they prostituted themselves.
The rest is history.
Yes a united representation would be good, but I feel that like all utopian ideals it is unlikely to occur. Sadly the pilot community is too fragmented and filled with too many wannabes and self interested morons to sucessfully unite.
