Sorry, but you're mistaken, as you'll find if you ever listen to the announcements made during boarding. What I wrote was as near a quote as I can recall.
I've heard the same announcement, or something similar, on every US airline I've ever flown. I've rarely flown narrowbodies on foreign carriers so I don't want to make a statement one way or the other there, but in the US it's ubiquitous.
