You raise an interesting issue... are airline pilots "blue" or "white collar" workers. If you work for Jet Blue, I suppose the answer is more obvious!
We are wage earners and operate machinery. That sounds like a "Blue Collar" worker. But do we conduct manual labor? Not really? Quite a few airlines still require applicants to hold a college degree... that sounds more like a "White Collar" requirement.
