Australian carrier Qantas has told staff to stamp out “gender-inappropriate” terms that may offend the LGBT community.

The move comes in line with the carrier’s “Spirit of Inclusion” initiative which starts this month (March).
The booklet asks employees to refrain from using gender-specific terms such as ‘guys’, ‘love’ and ‘honey’ to avoid offending other staff members.
