Life has to be pretty good for everyone and the world really has no real problems if we are spending time and money changing words/terms from cockpit to flight deck and from notice to airmen to notice to air mission.
Right?

Also must be pretty good if you get upset about someone trying to change a word we use for something. Pretty ancillary to my life personally. But I can see its very important to some peoples identities.

This is just bending over backwards to play the games of people who crave divisiveness and triggers. They're never going to be satisfied, if you give them what they want the ink won't even be dry before they start fabricating the next outrage.
Personally I'm done with this kind of garbage. Don't wrestle with a pig... you both get muddy and the pig likes it.

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.

and honestly, the word flight attendant is just a stupid…just another PC word.
it has always been steward, in fact, I’m starting to say it more because that’s the way it should be.
if anybody says something, I’ll just say flight attendant is offense…time to play their game
