No, it was a pure judgment call, a decision had to be made. I know its 2018 but I refuse to constantly say he/she. We all get it. There are 2 genders and in the case of a neutral referent to gender, which is usually clear enough from context, or in the case where gender is irrelevant to the point, I say who cares. Its English, not Greek, where there are neutral pronouns. In English, we have no 2nd person plural so the south gave us 'Y'all' which my wife cringes at when I say, but we lived in the south for a year once so I feel like I've earned it. We also dont use neutral gender pronouns, and the Male 'he' has always been used that way up until MSNBC or Hilary Clinton or Oprah or somebody decided it wasnt legitimate. But this is 'Merica you liberal bloodsuckers. And I will proudly MAGA by bringing back the neutral 3rd singular, 'he'.

After reading that article, I now understand the error of my ways and recant my previous position. Apologies to all "ze" and "hir's" alike.
Regarding the more important concern (although what could be more important than the non-binary pronoun movement), I have an update from the Snack Basket committee, which I chair:
To: CPZ Pilot Group
Date: 9/15/2018
From: Mx Bobby L. Swagger, SBC Chair
Your Snack Basket committee has been working diligently to improve our Snack Baskets. We work hard to make this airline successful and we deserve the best Snacks money can buy.
Regarding the recent loss of the Swedish Fish, we have been in negotiations with the company, but as of now they have stalled. The company wants CAs to fly right seat and occasionally do in flight service to off load FA-A. Our position remains strong that this is unacceptable to the Union. However, if I get a CJO somewhere, I might be inclined to accept these terms without a union vote in exchange for some Swedish Fish to take with me. BUT dont be alarmed, I will make sure we have a working Snack Basket grid first so we can track any future movements of snacks in real time.
Thank you for your understanding,
MEC Chair
Snack Basket division
Mx Bobby L. Swagger

Our performance makes me sick to my stomach. There is no doubt we are losing our jobs in 2020. The performance on the Delta side is beyond inexcusable. Beyond miserable. There’s no way there isn’t some guy in a meeting room at Delta saying “well SkyWest wouldn’t be having these issues”. Is TSH going to come in and do a clean sweep replacing our MX leadership, or are we going to up the MX signing bonus, or are we going to start following Embraer’s actual preventative MX procedures....? How can everyone sit so idle when our performance is every day putting us all one more step to being newhire FOs at whatever regional will take us in 2020?
