Airline ditches ‘ladies and gentlemen’ for more PC-friendly term

In a major change to the airline’s on-board protocol, passengers will no longer be referred to as “ladies and gentlemen” or the French “mesdames et messieurs”.

Instead, crew will use gender-neutral greetings such as “good morning everybody” in a bid to be more conscious of gender fluid passengers.Source:istock “We will be amending our on-board announcements to modernise them and remove specific references to gender,” an airline spokesperson said, according to“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.”Many have praised the airline’s decision as a big win for diversity and inclusion, but online most of the responses have been negative.

I like to identify as a lady so I want to hear it. Don’t remove just add to it.

How about some actual news of substance?

Stupid!

The world cares more for shit heads than the actual issues.!!!! AirCanada shame on you. You have a monopoly in Canada and now screwing up things

Ffs

My initial reaction was why is this news? Then I saw that this came from a Murdoch stable and all became clear.

Are the toilets gender neutral?

Ffs, this is ridiculous.

It's a Canadian airline - why is anybody surprised?

If they dont address me properly , I'll DROP MY DAKS & PROVE WHAT I AM 😡😡😡😡

Gender fluid nut jobs needs professional psychiatric help not appeasement.

If you want to show someone a classic example of a first world problem then look no further!!!

That’s so sad...

Laughable...

Crap airline anyways.

😂

Seriously, who gives a shit. All these people saying they won't fly AirCanada again is great..more space & upgrades for the rest of us. They are a great airline, with great customer service who get you safely to your destination. Who cares what they start their announcement with

The people are all ladies and gentlemen, were born one and will always be what they were born. Address me as something other than my born and respectful title and you will receive a title back that you won’t like either. AirCanada thanks for telling me in advance not to fly you.

Trudeau has stuffed that great country well and truly.

Dear Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Intersex people... those who don't want to be called 'ladies and gentlemen'... all 5 of you... welcome 🤬

More PC nonsense from the woke.

Oh dear

All the worlds airlines will be taking this up soon. And I’m sure there will be millions of men and women out there who will be upset about it

When you don't know what to do resort to the trivial..this is akin to making your first action as a CEO to change the stationery!

All you hozers listen up?

Good morning/afternoon/evening ladies and gentlemen.... that’s it 😐

God damn it....

The best pronoun to use in this case IP: Insert Pronoun 😁

Mmmmmm interesting!

I’m still a gentleman, my mother raised me correctly

Go canada!!❤

Good

RWNJ BAIT...

Dutch trains did the same last year: “Beste rezigers” instead of “dames en heren”. Nobody blew up and trains run as before.🤷‍♀️

Stands to reason that’s its Canada that’s leading the lunatics

Ladies, gentlemen and those in denial.

All good. They won’t be hearing from me. 👋

I don’t understand how they come up with this PC nonsense I’m yet to run into any one who cares the same as everyone I know

‘Sorry everyone, sorry for interrupting’

Oh Canada

Hi guys... we're flying youse to Canada today 😂

AirCanada

G’day this is your bloody captain speaking

Probably because there are few people these days that would qualify as being either ladylike or gentlemanly.

Oh my... I want to be referred as by my name. I find it offensive to be called 'everybody'. I want my name to be called out like 'good morning Neil welcome to the plane' from the microphone. Otherwise I will be offended.

Good morning ladies, gentlemen, boys, girls, elderly, disabled, people of color, gays, lesbians, transgenders, bisexuals, queers, intersexual, left handers, people who won’t walk on cracked concrete and democrats

Colored faces and non-colored faces perhaps

Ridiculous

Ladies , Gentlemen ...and trannies perhaps

Passengers would also work!!

Who cares?

I'm not a gentleman anyway.

Don’t really care what they say as long as we get to the destination safely.

Is this news?

This absolute garbage!

why not hello ladies and gentlemen......and things

Why not just say hello ladies and gentlemen and everybody else on board

I’m sure there are other airlines that fly where they do. Or buses, or trains.
