These policies, often associated with radical Marxist ideologies, are being promoted through ALPA's 2021 language guide. The guide aims to foster an inclusive environment for women, transgender, and non-binary individuals by suggesting the avoidance of certain terms and phrases.
The language guide, in its pursuit of inclusivity, recommends replacing terms such as "cockpit" and "manpower," which it perceives as derogatory towards women. This is despite the historical origin of the term "cockpit," which is believed to have evolved from 16th-century cockfighting arenas to describe high-stress combat environments. The guide also discourages the use of terms like "mother/father" and "husband/wife," deeming them offensive.

According to Lott Wire, the guide proposes the use of "flight deck" instead of "cockpit," arguing that the latter has been used to exclude women. It also suggests replacing "manpower" with "people/human power" and discourages addressing groups as "guys" due to its non-inclusive nature. The guide further recommends avoiding "mother/father" and "husband/wife" to respect diverse family structures and same-sex couples.

In a January interview, Kirby revealed a shift in the airline's hiring policy, stating, "We have committed that 50% of the classes will be women or people of color" instead of prioritizing the most qualified candidates.

This trend is not exclusive to United Airlines. An insider from Delta Airlines disclosed that the airline's "Inclusivity Language Guide" instructs employees to capitalize the words "Black" and "Brown" but not "White" when referring to race. This revelation raises questions about the true nature of inclusivity and equality in the aviation industry.
