It really doesn't matter what color your collar is, we work in a very heavily regulated industry, inspite of "Deregulation". We are governed by rules set forth by both the FAA and the RLA, just for starters.
We are paid an "hourly wage", in my little mind, that makes us more Blue Collar than white. We do however require a license to practice, just like a Doctor or Lawyer, there is no such license to be a White Collar Airline CEO or corrupt politician, although most of them are lawyers...
Throw another Weiner on the Barbi will you? These are the jackasses who write our laws!
