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.
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
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”?
P***y pit?
Genital pit?
V-Jay joint?
Testicle vestibule?
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
I have no obligation to comply with FASCIST language police.
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
I will personally stay off of Untied Airlines.
Just fly the plane and shut the hell up.
Aren’t airlines trying to hire back pilots? And since when is the Union not sticking up for their members? What happens if the pilot uses the word cockpit? Fired? Fined? All unuin members need to tell union to F/O and maybe start a Decertification move.
Guarantee this was written by a woman….
They should be treated as Reagan treated PATCO.
