Leftist doctrine has expanded into the airline industry now, with Air Canada announcing that their staff will no longer greet passengers with, “ladies and gentlemen,” in order not to offend anyone.
Instead, staff will use gender-neutral terms to reflect “gender fluidity” or anyone who doesn’t identify with a gender.
As a spokesperson for the airline put it,
“We will be amending our onboard announcements to modernize them and remove specific references to gender. We work hard to make sure all employees feel like valued members of the Air Canada family, while ensuring our customers are comfortable and respected when they choose to travel with us.”
Here’s the breaking news of Air Canada’s “woke” update on Twitter:
CTV News Montreal has more details:
Flight attendants at Air Canada will no longer greet passengers as "ladies and gentlemen" or "mesdames et messieurs" as they have for years.
Flight staff will no longer use gender terms in boarding announcements as the company will be replacing scripted greetings with neutral words like "everybody" or "tout le monde".
"We will be amending our onboard announcements to modernize them and remove specific references to gender," a media spokesperson for the company said in an email. "We work hard to make sure all employees feel like valued members of the Air Canada family, while ensuring our customers are comfortable and respected when they choose to travel with us."
Air Canada's response also noted that the company was named one of Canada's Best Diversity Employers for 2019.
The Huffington Post also said:
Most airlines have shared a similar greeting tradition for decades: a scripted announcement that plays through the overhead speakers after passengers find their seats. But in a newfound effort to be more inclusive, and more conscious of how people identify, Air Canada will be breaking from the status quo: the airline will no longer use gendered terms to address passengers.
“We will be amending our onboard announcements to modernize them and remove specific references to gender,” a spokesperson for the airline told CTV News in an email. “We work hard to make sure all employees feel like valued members of the Air Canada family, while ensuring our customers are comfortable and respected when they choose to travel with us.”
Rather than use terms like “ladies and gentlemen” or “mesdames et messieurs,” flight attendants will instead opt for gender neutral phrases, like “everyone” and “tout le monde.”
