I did a historical search for "real", and fake, accidents at CX, and found no evidence that being a member of AOA has helped at all. As a matter of fact ive found no accidents involving CX aircraft in developing countries where legal help was required.
I did however, find many examples where legal protection was needed by members and it was either not provided by the AOA or it was substandard. Just ask the 49's to start. The LOL insurance provided by the AOA isnt worth the paper its scribbled on. I have a couple friends fighting through mounds of paperwork every week to get what they deserve, still nothing.
So next time youre out buying snake oil, say hi to Chicken Little for me!
