With our new concessionary contract at NWA placing the pilot group at the bottom of the pilot food chain, a few pilot buds and I got into a discussion .
The debate was weather we, as Airline Pilots were considered white collar or blue collar labor?
I have always felt that our job was a white collar profession, requiring a higher level of education, and continous speciallized traing.
We are always responsible for the lives of our passengers including many white collar executives and government officals.
IMHO, untill ALPA places our job classification as a white collar profession, we will continue to reach lower levels of pay and benefits.
