Amused,
OK, I'll bite. Who is running the AOA now? I think you are a bit paranoid. If you mean DD, then I am glad because he is infinitely more qualified than any of our pilots and does not have an agenda associated with being a CX pilot.
At least part of the reason the AOA does not act in these cases is because we have no legal ground to stand on. We tried to change this in a previous round of negotiations. The company will not budge. They insist on retaining the right to terminate without cause. This is who we work for... They require this bully tactic to ensure all their other unfair treatment of labour goes unchallenged.
