COCKPIT!
What will they call it now?...................
Before 9/11 I got to sit with the pilots in the front hole of the commercial airliner, it was interesting and something that will probably never be allowed again.
Hen house?
Front hole?
Front stick?
On larger aircraft it sometimes is called the Flight Deck.
“What will they call it now?...................”
Cooter cabin?
Crack shack?
Poon saloon?
Slut hut?
Gash stash?
Estrogen estuary?
If they really want to go there, the options are endless!
The term cockpit has little to do with man vs wonam. I am so sick of the pandering!
“Interesting enough, there is also a connection that has nothing to do with deadly bird combat. It originates from the word coxswain, which was used to describe “the person in charge of a small vessel”. 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. Of course, as other history fans may know, early aviation borrowed a lot of other terms from watercraft, which many believe to be the main source of the word cockpit as it’s used today.”

“‘Woke’ Airline Union Tells Pilots to Stop Using Words ‘Cockpit,’ ‘Airmen’”
Could somebody tell me how we’re supposed to win World War 3, or even what ‘values’ we’re fighting for when we got this kind of crap going on.
They want the Land Of Gibberish ,LOL
For example adverse weather alerts and other relevant information affecting safe operation of an aircraft are listed in “NOTAMS to Airmen”
These DEI morons are demanding a re write of Federal Aviation laws and documents for no good reason.
Objecting to the word cockpit is just silly, stupid DEI garbage with no basis in reality. Changing basic traditional aviation terminology is a passive aggressive method for DEI zealots to exert power over others and impose their will and their agenda on other people.
I will not comply
Pilots need a new union
That’s a loaded question there. 🤣

COCKPIT!

We’re not...............
