A union representing more than 70,000 commercial pilots has suggested changing words like “cockpit” to “flight deck” to be more sensitive to women and LGBTQ+ employees.
As centuries passed, the term evolved to become a synonym for “control center,” which was later applied to planes. In the early 1900s, the word “cockpit” was adopted by World War I pilots. The APLA has also deemed any words with “men” or “man” as a suffix or prefix offensive, with the union replacing “manpower” with “people/human power.” The union also suggested using gender-neutral pronouns, such as “they/them.”Flying is the safest mode of transportation in the world thanks in large part to airline pilots, professionals that are all held to the highest training and qualification standards.
