I want all pilots to understand this since ALPA doesn’t.
cockpit has nothing to do with male genitals.
It’s a word derived from the old English word coxswain..
helm of a ship. 🤦♂️

So while that is the origin of the word, some people have been using it in other ways.

I was hired 29 years ago. If that type of nonsense used to be spouted by some pilots, it’s ancient history, because I never heard people say it. I’m sure in the 60’s and 70’s, things were different, but the industry has evolved, and this is simply a solution in search of a problem.

I didn't write the guide. Ask them. I'm just pointing out that just because the origin of a word is one thing doesn't mean words' meanings haven't been changed to be insulting. There are A LOT of examples of this but I'm not going to get into it.

You now understand that no matter what you call a word it doesn’t change the meaning.
people could still ignorantly say “women don’t belong in the
doesn’t matter those people will always be ignorant and changing a word is a fools errand.
