The long awaited change to NOTAMs is finally happening

[NovemberEcho]

No, they didn’t make it easier to read or eliminate all the mundane items that bury the pertinent stuff. But it will no longer be “notice to airmen” and will now be “notice to air mission”. Yes, this is a true story.

I clicked on this thread with so much hope.

FAA: “We made gobs of useless information gender neutral!”
“Can we get some mental health reforms?”
“LOL no”

The industry is so much safer now.

Wokeness is everywhere now. Pathetic!


I don’t ever recall flying with a female pilot who said that NOTAMs is sexist.

Once again, wokeness ruins everything it touches.

Was wondering what kind of change would be needed; the NOTAM system as it is now is fine.

So, is it called the FAR/Air Mission Information Manual now, too?

i believe that was changed to Aeronautical a few years back.

It’s been aeronautical since I started flying 17 years ago, I get to call you old while simultaneously feeling old.

Doesn't bother me in the least. It shows that as a profession we can recognize our outdated and changing demographics and evolve with it.

If that makes me "woke" (the latest lazy pejorative from the right since 'snowflake' went out of vogue) so be it.

I’m all for gender neutral stuff, it’s more the fact when there’s so many things that desperately need to be fixed (even with the NOTAM system specifically) this is what they decide to do something about.

It’s been sufficiently proven that men can be used interchangeably for men and women. AIRMEN encompasses both. This is how it’s been done for a long time. Thanks, f”in Biden

This was not what Sumwalt was complaining about when he said, and I quote, that "NOTAMs are pure garbage."

Yeah, that’s me, super right wing. What, with my support of single payer healthcare, much higher taxes on the wealthy, labor unions, etc.

It‘s time for the extremist left to admit that a whole lot of the people who reject this woke garbage are Democrats, and it’s almost like you’re trying to drive us away.

“More applicable,“ my ass. I’ve never flown an “air mission.”

 

[NovemberEcho]

This is why I liked it so much in The Expanse when they call any superior “sir” irregardless of their gender.
