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.
Problem is that 90% of "airline pilots" are uptight, white republicans living a blue collar labor existance.....wear a uniform and a name tag....you are blue collar....period..embrace it... go out and ply your craft and quit being closet ceo's....college degrees in the last 18 years are nothing more than the high school of your predecessors
