Unconscious bias

I’ve been caught out more than once using phrases or terminology that show an unconscious bias. So now if I spot it it helps train my mind but also gives me the option of offering a correction. 

Such happened today when I received an email from C&RT 
 
Update on 02/07/2020:

“The Watford Flight will now be manned 7 days a week, opening at 10:00 with the last boat in at 14:15.

I emailed back and suggested staffed might be a better 2020 word .... am I being too PC?

No, not too pc. I thought exactly the same when I saw that email. Well done for reporting to the authorities.
