this is a terrible take.
we (airline pilots) are blue collar. We are skilled labor. We work for hourly wages. Most of us are union members. We collectively bargain. We obtain collectively bargained contracts through unity. We picket and carry signs. We support other unions. We are subjected to the RLA. We’re proud of all the above.
if you want to be considered white collar or management, you’re part of the problem.
