    Why would you idolize anyone? To err is human; we all have flaws and just because you have a fancy profession does not mean you are a good person.

      I moreso meant that I think glorifying the labor of working class people in general is a good thing. Not any one particular form of labor, just all forms of labor in general. Of course all people have flaws and are imperfect, I never suggested otherwise.

      I’m not a Marxist-Leninist, far from it, but I do appreciate broad strokes the art they made glorifying the labor of the working class. Even though they constantly disrespected workers and acted against their rights, they nominally fostered a culture that glorified the labor done by workers every day. I think that on the whole is a good thing. I think it’s good to show a reverence for workers of all types.

        Fair enough but this doesn’t make much sense to me in the context of this post, since it implies that pilots are / should be idolized more than any of the other travelers (also mostly labourers of some sort) or other airport staff.
