Why I Left an Airline Pilot Career

[JordanD]

You would get a lot less crap from people on JC if you'd stop referring to JC as "You all" or "JC people" and start including yourself with words like "us" and "we." You tend to separate yourself (textually) from the community you post regularly in. It's....disingenuous, I think, whether or not it is intentional.

Or calling everyone here the R word multiple times and flying off the handle with personal insults. I’d say it’s kind of intentional.

[good, it’s not just me]

one out of five old man. one out of five.

The one instance was my last trip so... yeah. Fresh.

One Zoom chat. Happened to be when I was on a layover.

Why weren’t you hanging out with your crew instead? They probably think you are socially inept now! Oh noes!

Well, this one made me chuckle: “...trust the science and recommendations, except for sunscreen, cancer is fake, giant plot to experiment on people.”

Might still be a struggle to get to 20% though.

That one is true though!

You forget the R Word started with socially. Which seems to be going around honestly.

QED, and you disappear in a puff of logic!

Well, certainly it's allowable if he would identify with a whole other group more, but if the other group didn't like airplanes then this one would be a close second. Asking for a friend, will take answers off air.

Without airplanes and paychecks, a lot of pilots would basically be your unhinged Druncle saying crazy shhh at Thanksgiving after drinking 15 Coors Lights.

If you use the term “socially retarded,” then you should probably be looking in a mirror when you say it.

Let’s retire that word, please and thank you.

The Airbus says "retard, retard" when landing.

We refer to the CA side FMC as the "master" and the FO side FMC as the "slave."


I'm surprised there hasn't been a SJW push to change master/slave language in the computer coding world.

I dunno if you're trying to make a funny or just really need to crack open a dictionary.

There actually is a bit of a movement to get rid of the master/slave terminology. Some real estate MLSs have recently stopped using the term "master bedroom," for example.

True. In a recent sale/ purchase we were advised to call it the Main Bedroom.

Don’t judge me. It’s my first.

Performative wokneness is a lot easier than actual change.

Hence my general opposition to "wokeness." Not to mention the grammatical offense.
