Delta Airlines has decided to train its 23,000 flight attendants to combat unconscious bias starting in the second quarter, Bloomberg reported Tuesday. They join the Delta Air Lines (DAL, -1.19%) executives who are already required to undergo diversity training.

Meanwhile, incidents of reported discrimination on airplanes increase 37% in the first 10 months of 2016, to 74, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation.

“Cultural sensitivity training has long been part of Delta’s flight crew curriculum,” a representative for Delta wrote in a statement to Fortune Magazine. “From initial to quarterly recurring training, our curriculum focuses on being thoughtful and sensitive to the diverse range of customers we serve, as well as providing a safe, secure and comfortable experience for all customers.”
