Though, the Association of Flight Attendants notes women in the industry have continued to struggle with representation, as well as pay the median annual wage for pilots is nearly double a flight attendant's salary, according to federal data.

No ***** It can cost $100k or more to be a qualified pilot, especially after Congress implemented those dumb 1500 hour ATP requirements for FOs. What does it take to be an FA? Do they need type ratings for each different aircraft over 12,500 lbs? Of course pilots make more. They're in charge of the ****ing aircraft.

This is absurd.

"Research shows that the utilization of general-neutral language can lead to a more inclusive environment that draws more people to the industry and helps keep them there,"

I think that is supposed to read "gender-neutral", but we all know the media is crap. Riiight, I'm sure a tremendous number of women are avoiding becoming pilots because of words. Scary words like cockpit and airman.

By bringing more female representation into the industry, airlines could help combat a shortage of pilots that threatens to halt a post pandemic boom in travel.

Straw man argument.

Though, gender neutral terminology will not target the lack of minority representation in the industry.

No doubt the committee continues to scour FARs, manufacturer and airline manuals for racist terminology.

Origin of the term cockpit:

Quote:

---

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.

But of course these mentally ill people could care less.
