That was my thought too. "Rapid swing to the woke culture"? You will fit right in with the NewsMax Captain crowd.

If you are getting out of the military because it's too woke, you're gonna have a bad time at the airlines.
I don't bring my political baggage to work. Some people do. I get it, I just think it's funny how angry they are. Like I said, he will fit right in at the Texas bases.

I know plenty of folks who are still on active duty, and they don't seem to care because they don't get upset over what Fox News and the Florida governor deem "woke".
Others do. Those are the same ones coming to work and talking at their FOs about it.

Show up, make money, keep your blinders on and ignore everything else and everyone, concern yourself with yourself, go home.
Never heard of NewsMax. Don't care about the briefings, what someone identifies as, or what they want to be called. By military woke culture, I meant bring told that my MDS is antiquated and is being phased out bc killing bad guys was bad for our image during the withdrawal (just a tad jaded from the Afghanistan retrograde). I just want to drive to work, fly planes bc they're cool, and be home with my family more.
I appreciate the info on seniority at the bases, cheers!
