I flew about fifteen thousand miles last year without a pilots license. Only the pilot needs a pilots license, us passengers just need a ticket.
And of course there are Rights that are not mentioned in the Constitiution. That is specifically addressed by the Ninth Amendment. But just because we want something does not make it a Right. Yes, we have a Right to travel, but we do not have a Right to operate a motor vehicle on a public road. The courts at all levels have been quite plain on that issue.
