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.

EOO -- Equal Opportunity Offensive!!
Boars and sows
How about “Ladies, Gentlemen, Weirdos and Freakazoids?”
Someone has been sneaking extra lunch trays.
Long article only to find out she/it/whatever has yet to come up with a greeting. I’m going to be offended if she doesn’t address me as white cat lady who voted for Trump.
I think that’s what Hyperloop™ was supposed to be. However, if he were to try to undermine the government monopoly on rail, he would find himself dealing with the entire federal bureaucracy.
What about those who identify as another animal?
Maybe they should have been updating the scheduling system and treat it as a business critical application. When the Crowdstrike thing happened, everyone else was back up and running in 24-48 hours. Delta’s outage ran for days. Now they are suing Crowdstrike. They will either drop it or settle for chump change because discovery will show how inept they are.
it backfired work on Ross Perot.
Oh, dear Lord . . .
DCS!
I think, to counteract this corporate push, we need Zach Selwyn to run the TSA (TSA Gangstaz).
Coc*s and cu*ts
Hummmm Maybe just say “OK, listen up!”
They are going to replace it with the ever popular “Hey Y’all”
“All y’all” works ... at least in Atlanta, etc.
