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.

So the place where a pilot sits and controls the aircraft in say, a Stearman is now a flight deck too?

Well since aeronautical terms steal a lot from well, nautical terms... couldn't we technically be calling it the bridge?

“It comes from “cock”, which was an old English term for a small boat, and “swain” which is a servant. So simply put, a cockswain is a boat servant. Over time, the title led to the steering compartment of smaller boats where the cockswain sat, then the area became known as the cockpit.”
I’ve always called it the flight deck anyway, because word meanings evolve (now more than ever), grew up hyper religious and the word “cock” seemed mildly naughty
Honestly, no one cares.

ALPAs new section has to do something to justify their existence. I guess changing a word is getting that work done.

[QUOTE=SonicFlyer;3813744]This is nothing more than the typical commie goal of attempting to change the language to fit their narrative. That's the strategy here. This is why unions suck, because at the top, they are basically all commies.[/
