A union has no purpose onto itself. If pilots don't want to be unionised, then they simply do not form one. Or they abolish what they had.
In Hong Kong, after the 49ers, the HKAOA has had no real influence one way or the other. It has nevertheless served a purpose, which is to legitimise many of the Company's actions. Have no doubt, the outcome would be the same with or without a union. The only real threat holding the company in check is massive, individual, unmanageable resignations as a result of them going a step too far.
Today, unmanageable resignations is certainly not a threat, with plenty of time to get the remaining cos18 workforce into position once the dust clears. So no, if you don't want a union then simply don't have one. It really makes no difference.
