I dunno, when I was in the AirForce, the place where the pilot operated the AC in a fighter or single seat AC was referred to as “the cockpit” in transport AC with multiple crew is was referred to as the “flight deck”. So an equivalent civilian AC…737 etc would have a …flight deck.
Undermine what?
I quickly found plenty of years-old discussions on aviation sites about the technical difference. Not a single one that I read mentioned this as a PC thing because it wasn't.
The term "cockpit" originally referred to a pit for cockfighting in the 16th century. It later evolved to describe the control area of boats and eventually the area from which pilots control aircraft, influenced by its use in military contexts and as a metaphor for combat zones. But here we are. 🤦♀️
The pilot of a boat is the coxswain, cox for short, so "cockpit" makes perfect sense for the enclosure where the coxswain works. Early airplanes had open cockpits; when they became enclosed cabins the term "flight deck" was coined.
I watched this idiotic interview earlier today. The best thing the politicians can do is stop trying to score points, keep their weedy little mouths closed and let the actual professionals do their job.
Why TF is anyone watching Faux Noise? We don't need to know what they are saying. We already know they are serving a 💩 🥪 on lily white bread covered in ketchup to their viewers.
It’s the deconstruction of the Administrative State … Steve Bannon has been talking about this for a long time. They don’t need any qualified people because they’re only there to tear everything apart.
If innocent people had not lost their lives this would be laughable. It’s so completely disrespectful & shameful to suggest this to all who lost their lives & the AT controllers (who I’m sure carry the weight of this heavier than anyone can imagine) & their families. SEAN DUFFY SHAME ON YOU.
I predict that Caitlin will have another change of identity, reverse her transition, go back to male identity, and blame her whole transition on the “woke mind virus pushed by the media & and progressive misandrist culture of California” (or some 💩 like that) within a year.
No she won’t. She thinks she’s rich enough that it won’t happen to her. She was an entitled asshole when she was Bruce. She had a sex change, not a personality change.
Jenner does not deserve respect from anyone. Jenner is an ally of trump. How is that good for the LGBTQ community? She can buy her way out of anything. Most folks can't.
Maybe giving the guy giving nazi salutes, and that has locked us out of our federal treasury and all government web sites access to flight control towers undermined our safety
But Sean, weren't the sky's safer when the "forbidden terms" were in use? Didn't this resegregation misogynist campaign lead immediately to the death of 67 innocent people?
This is one stupid motherfucker! Par for the fucking course. I wouldn’t let this fucking moron run a kiosk at the mall selling phone cases and fake watches.
Dunning Kruger affect. All of Trump's team suffer from it. From the President down.
Unfortunately it affected large swathes of the voting population too.
This is what happens when you have a failing educational system and a predominantly right wing media.
1. Did he just quote "Top Gun" with his "best of the brightest" comment?
2. The name "cockpit" did NOT contribute to the crash. My God, today, I get better information about the FACTS from former pilots over on YouTube than from this pathetic administration.
I feel like I've posted before that Donald Trump is a health hazard because listening to him kills brain cells and that he makes people stupid? Well, I feel like I should expand that to his entire administration, except their stupidity isn't just about killing brain cells anymore.
White dudes who lose their mind when you rename something should be disqualified from any control or leadership position. They’re obviously mentally unfit.
Well how come they never f****** downed a jet? After 16 years they're still confused about calling a cockpit of flight Deck? That's his f****** excuse these people are scum
There are trans, female, racially diverse pilots flying with airlines for decades and no one’s been any less safe. The problem ones have almost exclusively been unstable white men spouting political or religious gibberish in mental breakdowns while endangering passengers.
Wow. So many contradictory statements. The best and the brightest, doesn’t matter sexual preference or race, yet against social justice. Is anyone else confused? Seems like another blame game going on.
This guy was lucky enough to get a very ambitious woman pregnant. I truly believe she's propped him up for years. He's just not that bright. His main qualifications are his male and white
WTF seriously ,straight white cis guy is not just a snowflake but incredibly incompetently stupid.
The gay guy competent was not a DEI hire, he was confident the white reality TV cis guy incredibly incompetent is actually a DEI hire because he looks the part ?
The term "cockpit" gradually transitioned to "flight deck" primarily during the mid-20th century, with the more modern "flight deck" becoming widely used in commercial aviation as aircraft became more complex and the pilot's area was seen as a more sophisticated control center.
I believe the quote was something like, ‘it’s not standard for aircraft to collide’ ~ so was he saying that mid-air collisions are not standard operating procedure? I didn’t know that 😑
Comments
Undermine what?
I didn't even know that for sure, but it was the first thing that came to mind.
And the prior guy had no accidents. Duffy had had two.
So why is HE there? 🤦🏻♀️
Yeah okay bro
Sounds pretty gay to me. 🤨
Clarence Thomas and Kash Patel are Trump allies too; but it wouldn't be okay to call them racial slurs. Same principle applies here.
Biden didn’t have 3 plane crashes in 2 weeks.
Duffy is an unqualified hack.
Buttigieg was the best at this.
Dear idiot,
A cockpit is where fighting chickens... fight.
It's got nothing to do with your boss' flaccid little mushroom.
Trump auditions his cabinet picks.
Unfortunately it affected large swathes of the voting population too.
This is what happens when you have a failing educational system and a predominantly right wing media.
This is just pure arrogance and stupidity.

No more mid-air collisions
Does anyone really care?
NOT, they’re all STILL deceased.
Now let’s get to the more serious issues Mr. Secretary.
Or
Myspace? Or what cancelled reality show?
Im no genius but that suggests the cause was just helicopters

We are truly living in an Idiocracy
LOL pathetic
Just google “Stupid Sean Duffy quotes” and be amazed at the number of hits.
