For US commercial airlines it is my understanding that there are effectively no non-union pilots. That's good for the pilots (higher wages), but bad for the flyers (higher ticket prices).

Pilot pay has been trending downwards for a while. It's pretty badly paid for how high-stress and high-skill it is.
