Nobody gave a damn about this for 100+ years, and now all of a sudden our dues/taxpayer $$ were wasted so that Ms. Turrieta (she/her/hers...), a non-native speaker nonetheless, can recommend changing the use of the English language, because our words trigger her? What an absolute waste.

Of all things to complain about ALPA, this is probably close to the bottom of the list.

I agree is funny that this is an ALPA priority, but to wake up on a Thursday morning and let this get you going, hilarious.

As mentioned above, plenty of ALPA National issues to have problems with, this isn’t one of them for me. As a matter of fact, I’m changing my preferred pronouns to That/Thang. Might as well get aboard the Woke Train

APC Mods, why do you only have “Male” or “Female”
Options for gender

Shame!

Nowhere did I say that, and it was absolutely not implied either. If I moved to France/Germany, or any other country that uses gendered nouns, for instance, I would not then demand that they change their language because it triggers my sensibilities. I’m glad you’re okay with funding this garbage. I’m not.

That’s precisely why I’m upset. There are so many issues we face right now, and the fact that this is what they’re currently focusing on is upsetting. Again, nobody gave a damn about these words up until now, and now all of a sudden they must change. What’s next? We’ll get reported to HR for saying the word cockpit to customers?
