lol sensitive?

should the town of Mansfield, Texas change its name to Personfield, TX because it’s too masculine?

should Mr. Black change his last name because he isn’t actually black?

I think it’s safe to assume you are probably one who rejoiced when you head this change by ALPA. You people are the cancer of our society!

Not sure how you passed a hearing test. I have heard plenty "another empty kitchen". Openly, and more insidiously, like "lady pilot" vs "pilot". Guess you are about my age and saying our generation isn't biased is a lie.

I hate to break it to you but they call themselves “lady pilot” or “female pilot”. And they are proud of it.

don’t believe me, just look at the dozens of (female) pilot influencers on Instagram.

Retard used to be the politically correct term. Before that is was moron or imbecile. I have always felt that you can make anything a slur if you pronounce it a certain way. So I will call you retardant, because that is what you call yourself.

wow you usually are a good debater…but now you ran out of valid points to make…

don’t be too hard on yourself it’s a tough case to defend.

CBreezy left…she realized she couldn’t defend this non-sense anymore so she make a snarky comment and left and I imagine that’s what you will do too.

Nope, I am here to stay.

It is pretty simple. I have heard plenty of misoginy and racism in the cockpit. And plenty of pilots still deny that that is true. And they are all butthurt that all legacies "only" hire minorities. Does that mean I like calling them NOTAMissions now? No, not really. And I honestly don't know if it will change much, if anything. But at least it is an effort to correct what has been wrong for a long time, and is still going on. And if I have to call it the chickpit for the rest of my career so be it. Just knowing it gets your blood pressure up is worth it.

Hey, you doing ok? Whatcha drinkin? You seem to be typing out the Monty Python “looking for an argument” skit.

I’ve been in the industry for 24 years. Cockpit was a frowned upon term when I started. You’re a bit late to the outrage party. I also think flight deck sounds stupid like it’s the top of an aircraft carrier or something. In my opinion it should have been called the poste de pilotage or something to align with the other French based terms for aircraft sections. I blame the Wright brothers for the term cockpit since the wright flyer was steered with their …. pelvis.
