Very true! Well said!
I've always considered us to be heavy equipment operators.

Default Ring around the collar

A job can also be ermine collar, lace collar, horse collar, no collar, or thrall collar. Sometimes it changes in mid-career.

None of us can be replaced in 2 hours. I dare say that an emergency room doctor could change jobs to be working in a different emergency room, and be subsequently involved at a professional level in much less time than an airline pilot changing airlines. While we are lanor, we also have a unique set of skills requiring specialized education and training. We are professionals.

My collar is kind of a **** yellow, thanks to the great uniform allowance my company provides. Cheers to those of you sporting white collars all the time. I believe JetBlue pilots are more blue collar than the rest, but just my personal observation.

I think you kind of missed the point.
Two hour reserve call out means that you can be replaced in two hours. That means blue collar to me.

So can a doctor.

But to replace a pilot in two hours, they have to actually have hired and trained him months or years previously and then payed him to sit reserve. So they didn't really replace, just re-assigned shift assignments.

So in 2 hours you can be replaced by another professional, and that makes you blue collar? C'Mon Man!

An identically proficient, faceless, nameless, interchangeable professional who even wears the same clothes as you do. That's what makes you blue collar.
