I understand that pilots have chosen to form a union and thus they operate under that framework. The same option could be pursued within other professions yet the approach is typically stated that such professionals should just seek alternate employment if they are dissatisfied with their work (e.g., pay, hours, etc.)
I'm not sure what country you are from, but even in the United States, many professions are unionized.
If you simply disagree with the concept of unionization, I don't think that is on topic. But it would be better for anyone (Delta, its employees, or its customers) for Deltas pilots to simply quit in mass rather than attempt to reach an agreement about terms and conditions of work.
