Delta Airlines flight attendants and gate agents will no longer welcome passengers on board their flights by greeting them as ladies and gentlemen.
Kyra Lynn Johnson, Delta’s chief diversity, equity, inclusion and social impact officer, said the words are just not inclusive enough.
“So we’re beginning to take a hard look at things like our gatehouse announcements. You know, we welcome ‘ladies and gentlemen.’ And we’ve asked ourselves, ‘Is that as gender inclusive as we want to be?’” Johnson said during a February 2021 panel. “You know, we’re looking at some legacy language that exists in some of our employee manuals. And getting to the root of the way some things are described and saying, ‘Does that actually send a message of inclusivity?’”
The airline even has a diversity guidebook to make sure its employees embrace the far-left’s woke agenda to create an impolite society.
“Use gender-neutral language and pronouns. Do not use language that suggests a gender binary (male-female),” the Delta guide said.
But it’s even worse, folks. The people flying your Delta jetliner may not even be qualified. Delta places diversity ahead of ability.
“To really come out and say, as an organization, that we are an antiracist company was really important to us,” Johnson said. “We are going to actively seek diversity. We’re also talking about how we’re going to boldly pursue equity. And we’re talking about the steps we’re taking to consciously promote inclusion.”
