You're fantasizing, this has never been the case, and probably never will be.

- Union leaders don't hire pilots, managers do...you get one guess what they think about unions.

- Most pilots, if they are professional enough to get involved in hiring, are not likely to hold a carrier's union status against one single individual pilot who personally didn't have much say in the matter.

t's remotely possible that someday a major pilot group will give up compensation while negotiating a CBA in order to secure a contractual requirement that their company only hire union or ALPA pilots. But for that to happen a majority of pilots at some major are going to have to decide that it's worth giving up some money for. If you think that's going to happen, you're not just fantasizing, you're delusional and probably need to have your FAA medical status reviewed
