Air Canada staff will no longer greet 'ladies and gentlemen' onboard planes

[Victory]

No, the non-binary people feel they are neither male nor female. That's what this is catering to I think.

They are entitled to feel that way, but do they have a vagina or penis?

Don't do a google image search unless you want to be very traumatized.

LOL...

[Capt. Underpants]

There's nothing quite like a bunch of people who have no idea what it's like to feel excluded passing judgement on those who would dare to express such feelings.

[FICU]

Who exactly does ladies and gentlemen exclude? If you are a transgender woman would you not want to be called lady? Same for a transgender man. Please someone fill me in since I think I'm getting old and out of touch with society.

Pat... It's time for androgyny... it's Pat!

"Ladies, Gentleman, and Pat"

I think we're all rather confused, fortunately not as confused as Air Canada managment regarding this change though.

*shaking head*

Air Canada is a supporter of the Liberal Party...

Trudoh is pushing his identity/Gender agenda into the skies.

We could always say "Peoplekind, welcome aboard"

[rookiepilot]

"self loading cargo, sit down and shut up".

I know you all think that --

Wrong. The Schere campaign is the one flying with AC, not Trudeau.

Mind you, with some of the comments on this thread, it seems there are scant few in the cockpit either.

It's not about who's flying with who it's about AC donating to the Liberal party.

Do some research.

AC has given plenty to all parties in the past. From candidate donations to party donations. It even a sizeable chunk to Ontario Conservatives in 2015.

Even WestJet gave the Liberals 20,000 bucks back in the day.

Did you come to that conclusion by matching colours? Like you did in kindergarten?

Does that mean Westjet is Conservative?

Does Flair support the Green Party?

What party does Swoop support?

Slavery, Jim Crow segregation - all Democrat supported/enacted laws.

That’s great. Do you want a cookie. Not once did I mention the Democratic Party.

But if you think the Democratic Party has always been left wing and the Republican Party right wing, here’s some history lessons.

You're the one spelling "colored" wrong... and bringing up ridiculous comparisons.

I spell it in my own language. Kind of like how we spell and say a whole pile of things in our own language rather than the original language. Is that the best you can come up with?

As for ridiculous comparisons, let’s take a look at the definition of Conservative vs liberal and see which side of his to ry each was on?

Liberal: open to new behavior or opinions and willing to discard traditional values.

Conservative: holding to traditional attitudes and values and cautious about change or innovation, typically in relation to politics or religion.

Standing against every advance in society, from democracy, separation of church and state, free speech, the end of slavery, universal suffrage, women’s rights, the end of Jim Crow laws, gay rights, and so on were a bunch of conservatives on the wrong side of history who wanted to keep traditional values.

[altiplano]

Yeah I didn't put much energy into that, but still, if you're describing the sign, may as well be accurate.

Seriously though? The Holocaust? Slavery? Jim Crow segregation laws? Gay bashing? Airplane announcements? Is that really a valid parallel to draw here?

The problem you have is you're quick to infer that anyone who doesn't immediately align with your vision of a society aligned to an identity based, politically correct viewpoint, is immediately a racist, bigoted Nazi.

Your hyperbole disrespects the events you list.

He sure would be a joy to have to fly with.

Great to see Air Canada leading with this, a small gesture that can mean a lot to those who don't identify male/female.
