I always find the reaction to renaming something in a gender-neutral manner interesting. I don’t often hear female pilots complain about it, and I wonder if the male pilots would be complaining as much if the original term had been Notice to Airwomen. Skip Implied in your comment is that all objections are sexist. Personally, I am aggravated by them because they are a waste of taxpayer money! Is changing all FAA documentation to gender neutral really a good way to spend tax dollars? IOW, I'd feel the same way if they were changing from Airwomen to Airhumanoid! Quote

A64Pilot Posted August 14, 2022 Report Posted August 14, 2022 Someone mentioned humanity. Nope have to change that too, has the word man in it, and we can’t have that. It annoys me as it’s irrelevant, did anyone ever think mankind didn’t include BOTH sexes? Who dreams this up? Wait a minute, have to change that too, we are up to 60 genders now? Have to re-issue all government forms of ID. What about birth certificates? Leave that line blank? We Summered in a Marina in Jax when we were cruising to avoid Hurricanes, When we came back one year the little three yr old boy, was a girl. Is that really healthy? 1 Quote

Boilermonkey Posted August 15, 2022 Report Posted August 15, 2022 Everyone gets a trophy. Anything else to be said about UAS airspace? In a few years we will see a decline in the UAS NOTAMs as commercial BVLOS are integrated into the NAS. ...just make sure you've got ADS-B so they can stay far away. Quote

I have no idea of the legality of all this nuttiness. I do suspect the legal system never anticipated the current cultural absurdities and is likely very unprepared to deal with them. I don’t know that for a fact, just voicing my suspicion. Torrey 1 Quote
