anyone have experience flying with Virgin Atlantic? going to need to know generally how hot the female crew members are in order to determine how big a tragedy this is

Woke airlines

It doesn't affect anyone who doesn't work there. If you work there and your uniform fits and you like it, then there are no issues.

Tailgunners as crew members is not a new thing.

Let them wear whatever is most comfortable.

No big deal. Done by this awesome guy already.

What's the point of even having the checkbox? Not sure how the gender or preferred pronoun is even relevant to the trip.

My pronoun for everyone on a plane is "hey". Don't think I've ever once in my life needed to refer to any of the staff as anything that requires me to know their preferred pronoun. You get their attention and that's it.

Do gay dudes enjoy crossing swords? Seems inaccurate to rep. them that way.

man now it gets even harder to hit on the stewardess ..... steward-they

As long as it doesn't become mainstream where men, who pretend to be women, expect me to entertain their sensibilities, they can wear whatever they want.

When they say "women and children first", hilarity will ensue...

The human race degenerating into parasites. They are not happy being humans. Men not happy being men or addressed as men. Women not happy being women or addressed as women. Identity crises all around. Unhappiness. People should just be called parasites. Everyone get the same name and same gender also the same correct classification of what they actually are.
