Over the last few years, Delta Air Lines has embraced the diversity, equity and inclusion agenda under the purview of a chief officer who believes that the phrase “ladies and gentlemen” isn’t inclusive.
Delta’s Chief Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Social Impact Officer Kyra Lynn Johnson has said publicly Delta is striving to “boldly pursue equity” which has impacted every level of the company, from its hiring practices to the language it uses in gate announcements.
“Use gender-neutral language and pronouns. Do not use language that suggests a gender binary (male-female),” the Delta guide said.
“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 with other DEI insiders. “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?’”
Delta released an inclusive language guide in December 2020 which advised employees and leaders against using terms that reinforce the notion that there are only two genders.

The only sensible nomenclature is "Sentient Beings".
Presumably those who are non-sentient, e.g. those who identify as furniture, won't know or care.
I’m almost a Delta Million Miler and increasing wish I could transfer that to another airline. Hopefully their return to their roots and fire the people currently ruining the airline.
It’s not good enough. My dog is offended by their exclusion of him.
ladies, gentleman and deluded individuals?
slaves to the state?
How long before the doors and wheels start falling off Delta flights now? DEI = DIE. You’ll never catch me booking any flights on Delta anymore, I like to stay alive.
Hey, all y’all!
MORE INSANITY!!!!!!!! WHEN WILL IT STOP!!!!!!!!!!
It would be nice if when you arrive at your destination they simply said “Get your sh*t, and get off the plane”, standing there for half an hour while everyone else fumbles around and eventually shambles off the plane is probably the most miserable part of flying.
LOL...yep, my first thought was “All Cattle, now Boarding Gate 6” but yours is betters.
They should have dropped the “ladies and gentlemen” schtick years ago when passengers started showing up in ratty T-Shirts, halter tops, and flip flops.
“Hey assh@les! Get your butts on the plane!”
