Delta Airlines Chief Diversity Officer Kyra Lynn Johnson announced the company is planning to drop the “Ladies and Gentlemen” in favor of more “gender inclusive” language.
“We’re beginning to take a hard look at things like our gate announcements,” Johnson explained in a video posted over the weekend.
“You know, ‘We welcome ladies and gentlemen,’ and we’ve asked ourselves is that as gender inclusive as we want to be?” she continued.
