Yet another 'interesting' interpretation by crew control?? Surely not!?!?!?
If this is indeed the case, it must be followed up by the AOA. For those involved, please email the AOA. If you do not receive a timely response, phone them to follow it up. Do not let the AOA ignore this situation. A couple of cases of them not returning emails or following up on cases have occured recently. A case of burying their head in the sand???
For those non-AOA members, please follow this up with your chief pilot ;-)
