Not according to US Code Title 49 40116
Compensation paid by an air carrier to an employee ... in order to perform services on behalf of the employee’s airline union shall be subject to the income tax laws of only the following:
-The State or political subdivision of the State that is the residence of the employee.
-The State or political subdivision of the State in which the employee’s scheduled flight time would have been more than 50 percent of the employee’s total scheduled flight time for the calendar year had the employee been engaged full time in the performance of regularly assigned duties on the carrier’s aircraft.

That is simply not true. Regular joes are absolutely required to file state returns in their resident states as well as in states where they earn income. Not the case with airline crews. Thus my statement "we don't know how good we have it"....meaning being aircrew.

I said if you're not and airline employee... then this does not apply to you.

Not true. If you are not an airline/railroad worker, you can be required to file multiple state tax returns. Especially when you live in one state and work in another. I've done it! My neighbor filed in 3 states last year...his home state, and 2 others where he was assigned temporary duty. It's a pain in the arse, but required. We don't know how good we have it!

I have a friend that works for the NFL. He gets taxed for every state the team plays in, thus paying taxes in about 10 states each year for the portion of work completed in that state.
I don't think it affects my friend much (besides the paperwork nightmare) since he's not a player, but those football players who make multiple millions are definitely affected.
Again, since we are under the DOT rules, we are exempted from these rules and thus only pay taxes in our state of residency. I think people like CPs and sim instructors are not exempt like normal line pilots since they don't fly every time they go to work.
