Passengers on board Air Canada won't hear flight attendants or pilots say "ladies and gentlemen" any more..

..Soon they will hear gender-neutral terms.

During onboard announcements, the term "everybody" will replace the terms "ladies and gentlemen".

This decision comes during a time when many US states and other countries are adding more gender options on identification cards and birth certificates, including Canada that allows citizens to mark their gender as "X".
