Mr Kitsune,
Another cutting remark that adds nothing to the real debate. So expected, and so boring.
Sadly, many are asking just what you suggest; where is the AOA in all of this? The based pilots certainly are, with many again left wondering the benefits of AOA membership. At least see if there are any potential legal avenues available.
You are quick to berate the Canadians for taking a stand. May I suggest that in a few months the clarion call may be to be more like the Canadians. I think you Brits call it our finest hour.
