There are plenty of non-union airlines out there to choose from. There is always corporate aviation. In both cases their obvious superior skills and rugged individualism would be better rewarded vs being chained to the seniority system and shackled by union dues.

Unions are a necessary evil no doubt, but we reap the benefits.

Should we be able to make pointed PA announcements or wear political slogans on our uniforms? No.

Q,
You mentioned doctors, lawyers, scientists, and engineers. Those professions are broad with unique, transferable skills. They are regulated by voluntary professional organizations that require their members to ... pay dues. You can't practice law for compensation without a Bar Card for example. Professional pilots are interchangeable non-deferrable self-loading safety equipment. Nothing more.

In terms of private sector, no one should have to do it there either, but it should be a choice.
Also keep in mind that unions are the largest Democrat slush funding source there is.
