Navy's top enlisted leader is wrapping up job title review. Intent is to remove "man" from job titles, such as corpsman, to make them gender neutral. All Air Force members are referred to as "airmen" and three enlisted ranks include "man" in their title. What would you suggest as an alternative to "airman"? (You can have fun with this, but serious alternatives also are appreciated.)
Airman

Political Correctness

If it ever comes to it, eliminate AB-SrA , go back to the Air Corps days and reinstate Pvt-Spc/Cpl. Airperson sounds ridiculous so I'd rather be called soldier. I can't even imagine having a formation and being addressed as "air people", it's malarkey. I'm still stewing over the squids wanting to call a Corpsman "Corpsperson". I can hear it now, some Devil Dog yells "Corpsman up!" and no one shows up. Later we find Doc being offended because she's not a "man" but a person. Same for someone mistakenly called Airman and running to MEO to file a complaint

Both Man and Woman come from Human. This is stupid. I'm sure there must be far more useful things those in uniform can be doing with their time.

This is getting ridiculous. This new age PC crap makes me sick. And it's infecting the military far beyond to point of IG complaints being the new norm.
