Air Canada flight staff will no longer greet passengers by calling them "ladies and gentlemen," the company announced, in an effort to include all genders.
Instead of the gender-specific "ladies and gentlemen" (or French "mesdames et messieurs"), flight attendants are to address passengers as "everybody" or "tout le monde" instead.
The announcement was made over the weekend, according to the country's CTV News and La Presse. The airline has not specified when the change will be implemented, and has not yet responded to Business Insider's request for comment.
"The change will be reflected in the transmission of the Onboard Announcement Manual as part of our commitment to respect sexual identity, diversity, and inclusion," La Presse cited an internal memo as saying.

What a pathetic way of carrying on. I've never objected to being called a lady!

What a pathetic way of carrying on. I've never objected to being called a lady! Yes I've long believed that you could tell a person's gender by looking inside their underwear. Apparently that is no longer true. It is looking as if employers will no longer be allowed to hire based on birth gender. If a big hairy guy says he's a girl it looks like he'll be able to join the girl's volleyball team. I suppose a fat old woman will be able to apply for the role of leading man in a romance movie. Is this crazy or what?
