Pilots are blue collar labor.

Pilots have a union, they work for an hourly wage and negotiate a contract for that hourly wage. How many white collar professions are unionized? Pilots also strike. How many white collar types go on strike when their hourly wage is in jeopardy?

It is a technical skill, just like any other equipment/machine operator. You don't need a degree or any formal education to qualify to fly an airplane. It is simply skilled labor.

Your socioeconomic collar has absolutely nothing to do with the size of your paycheck.

And...you would be surprised at what regional and district managers of these 7-11's pull down.
