Air Canada has parted with tradition by dropping “ladies and gentlemen” or the French “mesdames et messieurs” when greeting passengers aboard its aircraft, in a major change to the carrier’s protocols.
Instead, crew have been ordered to use gender-neutral greetings such as “good morning everybody” in a bid to spare the feelings of gender fluid passengers. A company memo stated, “we want to ensure an inclusive space for everyone, including those who identify with gender X.”
