And now Delta Air Lines has announced that in addition to spoken languages such as Spanish and Russian, in-flight crew members' uniforms will now also indicate whether they know a signed language."Our mission is to connect the world, which starts with making travel easier for all people," Bastian wrote in the post, adding:"It's a small step on our journey, but a powerful change as we seek to make the world a smaller, more inclusive place.
"We are heartened that it's becoming more clear to the world that the hundreds of sign languages we have deserve recognition as does any other language," Chris Soukup, CEO of Communication Service for the Deaf , tells"We still have much work to do in combating biases and misperceptions against deaf and hard of hearing people, who they are, and what they're capable of achieving, and this move by Delta puts them on the right side of that history.
