I remember the tv show Commander Cody Sky Marshall of the Universe. It was on during the early 1950s as I recall.

All this to pander to a small group of people with mental illness. Absolutely ridiculous. The last thing I want from my pilot is for him or her to be worrying about woke PC nonsense.

May I still still distinguish between “stewards”, “stewardesses”, and (crossdressing) “stewardettes”?

No, those terms were discarded about thirty years ago.

They are ‘Flight Attendants’ now. No need for separate terms for males and females or ‘other’............................

Surprised they still use the term “pilot” as it has the connotation of someone who is in control, possibly with a great education about one or more subjects than the average person. Not everyone can be a pilot...AND THAT means it’s a racist, trigger word. /s

The FAA changed NOTAMS to “Notice of Air Mission.” Silly.

“Airman” is defined by Federal Aviation Act of 1958. It includes pilots, mechanics, and other licensed personnel. I have been in aviation since 1980. At that time I knew women pilots and more are entering the system. Back then we were more interested in proving our ability than worrying about terminology.

The word ‘cockpit’ dates back to the 1900s, it has been and may be used in a derogatory way to exclude women.

Gays hit hardest by the bias meaning.

The term cockpit can still be used, niggardly of course

“That’s the whole point. We’re not (ready for WW3)...............”

Tell me about it. Say what one will about Putin (that he jails his political opponents, etc.), but at least Russia is unified behind him (according to Western polling, that is). In the US, the Left gets the country at each others throats and then goes on a mad rush to TAKE OVER THE WORLD!

Sickening, and cannot end well.

The “Front Hole” ...

OK ...

No. It’s the “cockpit”. ALPO can pound sand.
