The accounting department realized how much money the company could save by replacing "passenger" with "guest." It is kind of like taking the olives off of the salad. The storage space required with, in the aggregate, dozens, if not hundreds of bytes of storage saved could mean we are able to enjoy a beverage selection again approximately .000005 seconds sooner than we otherwise would. This is not to mention the health and safety of passengers with this change. If every FA saves two syllables each time s/he utters the word, that is two syllables less of potentially virus containing mist spewing inside the cabin.
