One doesn't have to be a musician to recognize bad music. One does not have to be an artist to recognize bad art. One doesn't have to be a livelong aviator to recognize a sham when one sees it.

Which states in the list above have more to say on the matter than say...the Federal government? Each state may have differing right to work laws, taxes, workers compensation, and on the job injury, but that's about it. Even in states that have right to work, if your airline has a union, the pilot domiciles in those states will be represented by the union. Care to guess why? Because it's in the collective bargaining agreement, which was signed off on by the company, and the union, and in most cases mediated, or arbitrated by the US government.
You must have never heard of nullification?
