Ok so the question is do I want to work for this Company as an at will employee? Where the company can and has made unilateral changes to working conditions and pay without any consideration for its employees and there quality of life, just like they recently did to the Flexjet flight attendants schedules. Just ask them, because that is what at will looks like. Or would I rather work for a company with a legally enforceable contract in place and a strong Union willing to make certain all Pilots quality of life and compensation stay in tact and not changed ad-hoc? Union dues is kind of like insurance, most states require Liability but me personally, I pay for collision also to protect what I have, I will spend the very small amount of money on Union dues to protect what we have, I can see if this Union were ever to go away we would be just like the Flexjet flight attendants and forced onto whatever schedule Managment deems necessary to save a few pennies.
