Oi, you lot? UK's flag carrier to get rid of 'ladies and gentlemen' greeting for the sake of diversity
[RT] British Airways have intrustructed its pilots to no longer address passengers as ladies and gentlemen, keeping the greetings gender-neutral instead. The change in policy has been touted as a nod to "inclusion and diversity.""Diversity is our strength." Dat's logic, right? The UK’s flag carrier has become the latest airline to replace the traditional greeting with a gender-neutral alternative, the Telegraph reported on Sunday. The change in policy has been made to avoid discriminating against the passengers who do not fall under either of the two categories, such as children, as well as "to respect new social norms," the newspaper reported.The BA spokesperson has appeared to confirm the move towards the "woke speak," noting the company’s commitment to "inclusion and diversity." "We're committed to ensuring that all our customers feel welcome when travelling with us," the BA spokesperson said. Posted by: Fred 2021-10-10 |
