Not exactly Duvie ... BOTH pilots AND construction type laborers are BLUE COLLAR workers !!!
And BOTH industries had terrible safety records prior to the advent of unions. And MANY of the safety improvements in both fields were a result of the unions effort.
I guess the miners do get a little dirtier ...
I think its more like comparing oranges to tangerines !
But go ahead and believe you are a white collar manager for awhile ...
