[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't really understand how the author lumps pilots in with plumbers and electricians. Airline pilots generally have degrees, and many are former military officers. Doesn't make sense to me. Anyone have a theory on that?[/quote] It's based on what's valued in the class hierarchy: Labor = Skills Gentry = Education Elite = Connections Airline pilots' jobs are based on their skills, not based on their education/degree, or their personal network. Most military personnel would be considered Labor until you get to pay grade O7. Some officers at lower ranks might be G3 depending on their level of autonomy and university attended.[/quote]
