What’s the deal with Aegean? Star Alliance or not?

Terrible experience yesterday with Aegean airlines CFU-ATH.

Flight is operated by Olympic (and therefore no star Alliance gold benefits, including points or extra baggage)

Yet its...
Aegean crew
Aegean metal
Pre-boarding for star alliance
Multiple branding inflight for star Alliance (announcement by crew, inflight magazine etc.)

completely inconsistent messaging and delivery of benefits. Will avoid at all costs in the future
